Mark "P0ker H0" Kroon and Robert Varkonyi and started to butt heads. As their banter indicated when Varkonyi arrived at the table not long ago, this confrontation was probably inevitable.
Kroon raised to 22500 preflop, and Varkonyi announced he was all in. His about was for about 180,000. Kroon went into the tank. As he was thinking about his decision, he turned to Varkonyi and, "I don't think you realize I got all these chips with real cards." He then asked Varkonyi if he'd show his cards if he folded. Eventually, Kroon slid his cards to the dealer. As Varkonyi was collecting his chips, he turned over . Kroon did not seem pleased, and he told the table he folded pocket jacks. "I just don't think you shove with tens there," he said.
