Kroon Insists Table "Taking Chunks" out of Huge Stack
Niveau 13
: 1,200/2,400, 2,400 ante
Mark Kroon has recovered from his recently lost pot and is about to receive a new batch of pinkish 5,000 value chips as a full rack of yellow 1,000s is balanced on the table next to him. He advised we report that the shorter stacks around him had been taking chunks out of him, but they did not corroborate this story.
"Is that close to chip leader?" he said of his own stack, "Do I get anything for that?" Not yet, is the answer, but he is in great shape stack-wise as the field drops to 1,107.
