Kroon's Read on Slonske Proves Dead Wrong
We happened upon the action with 10,000 or so already in the pot and a flop reading 
. Mark "P0ker H0" Kroon had bet 4,700, and Jay Slonske raised him to 14,700. Not to be outdone, the ever-aggressive Kroon three-bet to 34,700, but Slonske responded by snap-moving all in for 47,500 more. Kroon asked for a count and the table talk began.
"Kings no good?" Kroon asked. Slonske indicated they were not. "How could they not be good? I honestly think you have something dumb like queen-ten."
Kroon put together some chips as he continued to think aloud. "Why would you reraise me with a set?" he asked rhetorically. "I've played worse than this before. Maybe the only hand I beat is a 
." Kroon then tossed in a call.
Kroon: 
Slonske: 
Kroon went with his read and called with ace high, and he was in about as bad shape as he could be as Slonske did have the set. The turn left Kroon drawing dead, and even though the 
river gave him two pair, he sent the majority of his chips over to Slonske.
"I didn't think you'd reraise me," Kroon explained. Slonske then went on to win the next two hands to chip up to 200K.
