Hand 5

Annie Duke completes the small blind with {Q-Diamonds}{10-Spades} and Marcel Luske checks with {5-Diamonds}{7-Clubs}.

Flop {9-Diamonds}{4-Clubs}{3-Spades} and a 3,000 bet from Duke is called.

Turn is the {6-Clubs} and Duke fires another barrel with Luske holding the nuts. He just calls her 6,000 bet.

River is the {8-Hearts} Duke checks and gives up but Luske checks behind.

He turns over his hand saying, "I have a six."

He misread his hand but wouldn't have extracted any more from Duke anyway.

Only five hands in and the flying Dutchman already has almost half the chips in play.

Hand 4

Marcel Luske raised to 6,000 with {A-Diamonds}{Q-Hearts} and got reraised to 19,000 by Eddy Scharf who held {A-Spades}{5-Clubs}. Luske called.

Flop: {2-Hearts}{9-Hearts}{Q-Diamonds}
Scharf bet 20,000 and Luske called.

Turn: {A-Hearts} and both players checked.

River: {J-Diamonds}
Luske bet 20,000 and Scharf made the call. Luske took the pot with two pair.

Hand 1: A Moment of Madness From Frazer

Ian Frazer and Marcel Luske
Ian Frazer and Marcel Luske
Annie Duke raises to 6,000 with {A-Clubs}{7-Clubs} and on her left Marcel Luske reraises to 26,000 from the button with {K-Diamonds}{K-Clubs}.

Incredibly, Ian Frazer moves from the big blind for all of his starting stack on the first hand with {J-Hearts}{10-Hearts}.

Luske: "It must be aces."
Frazer: "I'm not strong."
Luske: "You're not strong? You should be."
Frazer: "I just want to get them in there."
Luske: "Okay I call, how can I lay down kings?"

Flop {A-Hearts}{3-Clubs}{3-Hearts} and a flush draw for Frazer!
Turn is the {9-Diamonds}
River is the {8-Spades}

Luske eliminates Frazer.

What this also means is that Phil Hellmuth is relegated from the PartyPoker.com Premier League, as he needed Vicky Coren not to pick up any points.
