We came upon Table 306 just in time to see a short-stacked Michael Cantrell all in and covered by Derek Pasquarella.

When we reached Table 361, the board read . Mark "P0ker H0" Kroon had put out a bet, Fohrenbach raised to 10,850, and Kroon moved all in for over 100,000.

Kroon looked sick. He did not show his hand however, opting to muck it face down and rake in the pot.
