Luske Makes a Great Call
Marcel Luske is showing a pair of jacks and a king after his opponent bet the final card in razz. Luske thought for a second and then made the call. His opponent claimed, "I have a king-low."
Marcel pounced from his chair and slammed his cards yelling, "Yes sir!" And then showed a jack-low, J-7-5-2-A for the best hand.
