Luske Doubles Through Maimone
Level 18
: 5,000/10,000, 1,000 ante
With a substantial pot already brewing and the board reading 
, Nick Maimone bet 60,000 from the big blind and Marcel Luske shoved from middle position for 213,000, sending Maimone into the tank.
"I have a pair but I don't think I'm ahead," said Maimone. "Kind of a gift, I think. You're not going to bluff me with that many chips. Maybe you have a draw?"
Ultimately, Maimone called and Luske flipped over 
for a turned set of fives, which was far ahead of Maimone's 
. The 
on the river changed nothing and Luske took the pot to double up.
"You turned me. If I bet that flop, I win," said Maimone as Luske stacked his newly-acquired chips.
