Kroon is Hard to Kill
Level 13
: 1,000/2,000, 300 ante
Just before the break, a big pot was brewing. We stumbled upon the action with 25,000 or so in the pot and a flop reading 
. Judd Greenagel checked from the small blind, Mark "P0ker H0" Kroon moved all in from early position, and Paul Vivacqua called off for 46,000 from the cutoff. Greenagel got out of the way and the cards were turned up.
Kroon: 
Vivacqua: 
Kroon had flopped two pair, but it was no good as Vivacqua had flopped the nuts. Neither the 
turn nor 
river helped Kroon, and he was knocked down to just 24,000 while Vivacqua doubled to 125,000.
Kroon was on the brink of elimination, but after coming back from the break he scored a triple. "Don't call it a comeback," he said with a big smile on his face.
