Kroon was in an awful spot and was going to need an ace to save her. The board came and she was forced to surrender the pot to her opponent. After the hand Kroon sat with around 115,000.
The very next hand we found Kroon raising from under the gun to 17,000. A player in middle position moved all in for more, and action folded back to Kroon who made the call.
