Marcel Luske

Dutch legend Marcel Luske was in the big blind and was too busy making conversation with his tablemates to notice a raise to 80,000 from Aaron Overton in middle position.

"What is this!" he exclaimed. "Is this what you've been doing all event? Waiting for people to be talking and then doing this?"

Overton smiled back.

"See I like that smile," said Luske. "So I will play one of only four hands with you."

"What?" asked Overton.

Luske hadn't looked at his cards yet. "I will play only four hands with you," said Luske. "Aces, aces, aces ... and sometimes I might play kings as well." Luske looked at his cards. "See," he said, showing {q-}{j-} off-suit. "We don't want to play this rubbish."

"Well," said a tablemate. "He is a man of his word!"
