The Return of Luske

Level 11 : 600/1,200, 200 ante

Marcel Luske was knocked out yesterday during the early goings, but today he's still going strong after just knocking a player out.

Lukse explained to us that the lady under the gun raised to 3,000 and 'The Flying Dutchman' announced that there was a problem when the action got to him.

"I said, 'There is a problem' because I had to call," Luske said with a smile as he had looked down on ace-queen.

The flop brought out {Q-}{J-}{8-} with two diamonds and both players checked. The turn was an {A-} and Luske lead out for 6,000. On the river a {2-} popped up and Luske put his opponent all in for around 13,000 chips.

"After a long time she called with ace-jack," Luske said, as he felt the pain of his opponent for losing with such a strong hand.

Egi Adriaans just wondered into the media room and told us about his very unfortunate exit from this event.

"I had been knocked down to 4,000 and 5,000 and few times and right when I got back to 20,000 I lost with queens against jacks," Adriaans said, as his opponent had managed to spike a jack on the turn.
