Calm and Cool Krok Doubles
Level 27
: Blinds 50,000/100,000, 100,000 ante
Paul Krok open-shoved for 600,000 in cutoff and Alexander Semaan in the big blind made the call taking them to showdown.
Paul Krok: A♥3♦
Alexander Semaan: A♣9♣
Semaan was ahead with ace-high and the better kicker making Krok look a bit disheartened when the cards were tabled. The dealer fanned out 5♦Q♠2♦ giving Krok some lifeline with a gutshot straight draw. Krok just watched quietly, not very hopeful of any upset.
Krok was pushed in the lead when he caught a straight on the river 4♣, evoking surprise on the table. Krok, however, just gave a small smile as he scooped the pot towards his direction.
