Mark Kroon Chops a Pot

Level 14 : 1,200/2,400, 400 ante
Mark Kroon
Mark Kroon

We got to the table to see the player in the under-the-gun position all in and Mark Kroon having to make a decision on the {5-Clubs}{7-Hearts}{A-Diamonds}{7-Spades}{8-Hearts} board.

Kroon took his time to think. "It doesn't make sense, you're either bluffing, have a full house, or a seven."

In the end, Kroon called and his opponent showed {A-Spades}{3-Spades}. Kroon showed {A-Clubs}{6-Clubs} so they both had aces and sevens with the eight on the board as the kicker. They chopped the pot.

The turn was the {8-Hearts} and was checked through the {9-Diamonds} river. Once again, both players checked.
