A Nguyen for P0ker H0

Just before the level went up, a player in middle position opened for 3,300 only to have Khang Nguyen move all in for 33,000. Action folded around to Mark "P0ker H0" Kroon in the big blind, he squeezed out his cards, capped them, and then announced that he was all in. The original raiser quickly flicked his cards to the muck, discovering that it was a good laydown.

Showdown
Kroon: {A-Spades}{A-Diamonds}
Nguyen: {K-Clubs}{Q-Clubs}

"All red," Kroon commanded the dealer, who obliged with a {10-Hearts}{9-Diamonds}{6-Hearts} flop; however, it did give Nguyen a gut-shot straight draw to a jack. The {3-Clubs} turn was a blank as far as Nguyen was concerned, and so was the {9-Hearts} river. Kroon eliminated his opponent and chipped up to around 184K in the process.
