"I Used to Watch You on TV!"
Level 1
: Blinds 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante
Pedro Marques opened in middle position and was called by Igor Tregoubov on the button and Danesh Luthera in the small blind.
Marques continued for 8,000 on the flop of 3♥7♣J♥ and Tregoubov called before Luthera check-raised to 21,000. Only Marques called.
Both players checked on the A♠ turn and 10♦ river as Luthera showed 9♦9♥ to lose out to the K♦J♠ of Marques.
Just before the hand, cash game superstar Phil Laak joined the table and was greet by a star-struck Luthera.
"I used to watch you on TV! You played with Negreanu, Ivey, all of them!"
