Kroon Gets a Walk, Starts to Talk
Mark Kroon �� leader of this tournament after both Day 1 and Day 2 �� is continuing to have fun despite having slipped back to below average chip status during Day 3 and the start of Day 4.
Just now Kroon received a walk in the big blind, and as the next hand was dealt he became animated, telling the table they needed to fold around. "You could make history�� two walks in a row at the World Series of Poker Main Event!" he cried.
But Aditya Agarwal had picked up a hand with which he wanted to raise, and so he did. It folded to Kroon in the small blind. "I would have folded, but now I have to look," he said. When he saw his cards he continued to talk.
"I would have mucked this but now�� oh well, I'm all in."
The table laughed as the big blind quickly ditched his hand and Agarwal did the same. "Hey I got an extra 15,000 because of my table banter!" said Kroon with a wide grin. "I'm back!"
