Flying Dutmen Hits the Runway

Towering above the table with two seats stacked on top of each other ("Iz good for zi back," he claims, in his familiar Dutch twang that sounds nothing like how I wrote it), Flying Dutchmen and Team PokerStars pro Marcel Luske is beginning to gather speed by raking in a few small pots.

On his last encounter, he limped under the gun before seeing a three-way flop of {6-Hearts}{7-Diamonds}{8-Spades} with the button and the small blind. The small blind bet, Luske raised to 100, and both opponents called. Luske then took it down with a single bet on the {5-Clubs} turn before flashing what I believe was the {9-Diamonds}.

Meanwhile, fellow countryman and 2008 bracelet winner Rob Hollink is plugging away quietly a few tables down. He currently has around his starting stack.
