Marcel Luske, immaculately dressed in a light tan suit, just scooped a pot from Tommy Hufnagle. Luske's six-high straight was good for the high and the low.
Luske is our current chip leader with 56,000. David Sklansky is hot on his heels with 54,000.
John Juanda's set of threes couldn't hold up to David Sklansky's wheel and he was eliminated from the tournament. Sklansky re-took the chip lead on the hand and is up to 71,000.
WSOP Media Director Nolan Dalla just announced to the players in the Amazon Room that 21-year old James Mackey had won his first bracelet in the $5,000 no-limit hold'em event.
Upon hearing this,Mike Matusow, who never has anything to say, quipped to his table "I didn't know what poker WAS when I was 21! I had $2.50 in my pocket!"
