Kroon Spikes the River to Scoop Monster Pot

Just before the break, we stumbled upon Mark "P0ker H0" Kroon's table and noticed a big hand in progress. On a flop of {A-Diamonds}{9-Diamonds}{6-Clubs}, Kroon had checked to his opponent on the button, who fired out 12,000. Kroon then moved all in, and the button called. We're not sure of the exact amount, but we estimate the pot to be close to 90K.

Showdown
Kroon: {6-Diamonds}{4-Diamonds}
Button: {A-Clubs}{Q-Hearts}

"I have a lot of out," Kroon crowed just before the {9-Hearts} was put out on the turn. "You took away a lot of those out dealer," he added. Kroon, who busted in the first three hands on Day 1a, seemed to be having a reversal of fortune here today, as evidenced by the {3-Diamonds} that spiked on the river.

Kroon hit his card to scoop the huge pot and eliminate his opponent, increasing his stack to around 150,000. "Is there any way you can write that to not make me seem like a donk?" Kroon asked with a big smile on his face.
