Kroon Makes An Unbelievable Call

Level 20 : 5,000/10,000, 1,000 ante

We came to the action as Kroon was facing an all in bet for an additional 240,000 from Richard Langdon on a {8-Diamonds}{3-Hearts}{9-Diamonds} flop. The all in obviously shocked Kroon, as he jumped out of his chair requesting "an exact count" in disbelief.

He started to count out his chips, making sure the dealer know he was just counting them out. Then he started going through possibilities wondering if Langdon flopped a set on him. Kroon must have received some sort of tell on his opponent because he moved on from that thinking.

Then he went through possible hands that his opponent could have eventually muttering: "there is no way you are flatting me with aces". Eventually, he made the difficult call and before Kroon could even turned over his {q-Spades}{q-Clubs}, Langdon said "you got me" showing {j-Diamonds}{j-Spades}.

Kroon left the table for the turn and river cards not realizing the sweat that came with the {10-Clubs} turn. The {9-Clubs} didn't change things and Kroon is now over a million in chips. Langdon was eliminated from the tournament in 50th place.
