Flying Dutchman Clipped

[user67765]

Omaha Hi/Lo:

Marcel Luske has attempted to put some pressure on his opponents with his big stack but Doug Ganger held firm in a recent Omaha hand.

On a board of {2-Hearts}

there was plenty of action as Ganger showed down {Q-Clubs}

for a full house, sixes full of eights. Luske looked mildly frustrated, yet a little bemused, as he flashed {K-Hearts}

for the king-high flush before mucking his hand.

Luske Rollercoaster!

[user67765]

Stud-8:

In two consecutive hands, Marcel Luske lost a big pot but then won it right back again!

In the first hand he held {Q-Spades}

but mucked when Jens Voertmann showed ( {Q-Clubs}

)

for the flush to scoop the pot.

However the very next hand Luske collected a nice pot against Doug Ganger. Luske raised on 4th street and then bet the whole way with ( {4-Diamonds}

)

for a straight and low as Ganger tabled ( {A-Clubs}

)

for two pair.

Luske is hanging in there and has a lot of support on the rail as they will him home to capture the first ever Dutch WSOP bracelet!
