Marcel Luske

We're not going to declare Marcel Luske out of the tournament yet because that would be an erroneous statement. The Singing Dutchman is still sitting in his seat and being dealt into every hand. But he's perilously close to joining the throng on the rail.

Luske has just 3,000 chips left in his stack after firing 2,000 on the turn and 2,000 on the river of a board that develoepd {3-Diamonds}

{3-Diamonds}

{A-Spades}

{4-Diamonds}

{5-Spades}

{3-Hearts}

. Each time Luske was called by his one opponent. Luske showed down {A-Hearts}

{A-Hearts}

{J-Hearts}

for two pair, aces and treys, but his opponent showed down the same hand with a better kicker, {A-Clubs}

{A-Clubs}

{Q-Clubs}

. One more loss will knock Luske out of the Main Event.
