No T.H.O.R.S.E.N.P. Title For Reigning H.O.R.S.E. Champ

After a raise by Adam Spiegelberg and a call by Doyle Brunson in front of him, Deeb raised to 3500 and got called by both players.
The flop came {9-Clubs}{5-Clubs}{2-Clubs} and Spiegelberg moved all-in. Brunson folded and Deeb went into the tank before he called and showed {7-Clubs}{7-Hearts}. Spiegelberg had {k-Spades}{k-Hearts} and no club or seven came on the turn or river and the 2008 H.O.R.S.E. champion was eliminated.

Schneider's Straight Flush

Pot-limit Omaha:

On a flop of {10-Clubs}{8-Clubs}{2-Diamonds}, Tom Schneider and his opponent got it all in.

Schneider turned up {J-Clubs}{10-Hearts}{10-Diamonds}{9-Clubs} for top set and an open-ended straight flush draw, while his opponent rolled over {K-Hearts}{J-Hearts}{10-Spades}{8-Hearts}.

"I have no outs!" exclaimed Schneider's unfortunate opponent.

The turn was the {7-Clubs} and Schneider made a jack-high straight flush. The river was the meaningless {8-Spades}. Schneider made the stone nuts, eliminated his opponent and now sits on 41,000 in chips.

Marcel Luske Loses to a Better Two Pair

Stud:

Marcel Luske's board read {2-Spades}{6-Clubs}{7-Hearts}{10-Diamonds} with his opponent showing {A-Clubs}{3-Clubs}{8-Clubs}{10-Hearts}, in the order that the cards were dealt. Upon receiving their seventh card face-down, Luske's opponent bet out, to which Marcel made the call.

His opponent turned over his down cards that contained the {A-Hearts}{3-Spades}{K-Hearts}, giving him a five card hand of the {A-Hearts}{A-Clubs}{3-Spades}{3-Clubs}{K-Hearts} for two pair with a king kicker. Luske mumbled that he had a smaller two pair and mucked his holding.

Luske has dropped to 29,000.
