Luske Off To a Flying Start
Marcel Luske has gotten off to a flying start, which is fitting for the man nicknamed "The Flying Dutchman." He's already built his stack up to 12,500 in chips, which is 5,000 more than what he started with... and it's only halfway through the second level of play.
Luske has put up some very nice results in the games of Seven Card Stud and Omaha at the World Series of Poker. In 2004, Luske took second in the $5,000 Seven Card Stud World Championship and in 2008, he took fourth in the $5,000 World Championship Seven Card Stud Hi/Lo event. Those finishes earned him $120,800 and $95,069, respectively.
In 2002, he placed second in the $5,000 Omaha Hi/Lo Split event for $44,560 and in 2007, Luske took fourth in the $2,000 Omaha Hi/Lo Split event for nearly $65,000.
Clearly, Luske knows how to play these games and has plenty of experience on his side as his record exhibits. Bolster that with his solid start today and it looks like Luske could put together a very nice run in Event 42.
