Kroon On the Rebound

We last left Mark Kroon late in the day yesterday after having lost a massive pot to chip-leader Jeff Fielder on a bluff.

Well it hasn't taken him long today to get started back in the right direction. Kroon raised under-the-gun to 7,500 and was called twice before the player in the small blind moved all in for 50,500 total. The big blind tank-folded which allowed Kroon to immediately reraise to about 150,000. The other two players in the hand folded and the hands were placed on their backs.

Kroon: {7-Clubs}{7-Diamonds}
Opponent: {a-Diamonds}{10-Diamonds}

Apparently one of the players who had flatted the raise folded {8-}{8-}. However, it worked out for the opponent because Kroon made a strait on a {6-Hearts}{q-Clubs}{4-Spades}{5-Hearts}{3-Spades} board. A nice isolation-play by Kroon worked out but it almost got even better had that player decided to make the call.
