"I'd rather my chips go to someone I like"

Level 3 : 75/150, 0 ante

A player in middle position bet, a player in late position called, and Marcel Luske in the big blind called and came along for the ride as well preflop.

Three cards were spread out across the felt and they came {A-Hearts}{9-Diamonds}{4-Diamonds}. Luske and the middle position player checked and the player in late position bet, putting himself all in. Luske and the middle position player called. A {7-Diamonds} on the turn let both other non all in players check. The {K-Diamonds} lead to a check from Luske and a bet from middle position. Luske called and cards were tabled.

Luske: {Q-Diamonds}{j-Hearts}
Middle Position: {10-Diamonds}{10-Hearts}
Late Position: {A-Diamonds}{Q-Hearts}

The late position player tripled up with a nut flush and Luske won a few chips in a side pot with his queen high flush beating the other player's ten high flush. It was interesting to note that most players at this table are having a lot of fun laughing and playing together. It was even overheard that "it sucks drawing a table in a shootout filed with people you like" another player countered with "I'd rather see my chips go to someone I like".
