Marcel Gets Quartered

[user67765]

Omaha Hi/Lo:

Marcel Luske raised preflop, check-raised on the flop, bet the turn and checked the river to his opponent Doug Ganger on a board of {10-Hearts}

.

Ganger casually tossed out a bet on the river which Luske quickly called tabling {A-Diamonds}

. Ganger showed {A-Clubs}

for the same low to go with the nut flush for the high. Ganger collects three-quarters of the pot, and Luske only receives a small refund with one-quarter of the pot.

Above us sitting on the upper deck of the No Limit Lounge are several supporters for Hoyt Corkins. When Corkins wins a pot, you don't hear loud boisterous screams, chants, or random pep sayings. Instead, you might hear a couple of people do a muted "whoo" and politely clap. You would almost think we were watching Tiger Woods sink a putt for par. A much different scene than the adjoining No Limit event where even a minor pot seems to be cause for rowdy celebration.

Voertmann Claims Final Hold'em Pot

[user67765]

Hold'em:

In the final hand of hold'em, Jens Voertmann bet the whole way with Marcel Luske folding on the river but Doug Ganger calling him down.

The board read {10-Hearts}

and Ganger said "I have to call, there's only one heart that beats me!" as he slid out his chips for a call. Voertmann had that heart as he showed {K-Diamonds}

for the nut flush. Ganger flashed the {Q-Hearts}

as Voertmann collects a nice pot.
