Accidental Slowroll for Luske

At his new table, Marcel Luske's fortunes have not fared well, and after a river bluff was called he was prepared to lose the pot - but nearly found himself winning it through a vision-related misread!

His opponent spoke to him in German and wears small rectangular glasses - we have him listed as Claudio Simaldoni with a stack of over 75k but there's been a fair magimix of players today as tables have been restocked, broken and moved and the tried and tested method of 'asking in the break' will need to be employed.

In the hand, Luske had bet 4k on the river with the board standing {10-Hearts}{10-Diamonds}{7-Diamonds}{5-Diamonds}{9-Spades} and his opponent took his time before finally making the call. Luske turned his hand immediately and with a firm, expressionless motion, never mind the fact that it was {K-Clubs}{4-Clubs}. So confident did he seem that his opponent accidentally slowrolled his {A-Diamonds}{Q-Clubs} which he thought he was flashing so that Luske, with {A-}{K-} could see. In fact, this was the winning hand, which scooped the pot as soon as it was on its back.

There followed some multilingual confusion as the winner tried to tell Luske that he hadn't actually slowrolled him, just confused a four for an ace and thought he'd had the wrong read, when actually he was spot on.

"It's because no one said anything," prompted the dealer.
"I'd rather have him muck his hand if he thinks he loses!" laughed Luske, clearly not pro help in hand reading.
