Level 10 : 500/1,000, 100 ante

Marcel Luske lost a big pot just now:

"I had kings and opened, another guy raised to 9,000 and then another one reraised to 19,000 something. I went all in for about 33,000 and the first guy folded but the other called with ace-king. The ace came, of course," Luske said, with a hint of defeat in his voice.

Level 10 : 500/1,000, 100 ante

Kristen Bicknell just doubled up:

"I opened to 2,000 from mid-position and was called by the player in the big blind. The flop came jack-five-three rainbow. He checked, I bet 3,000, he raised to 8,000 and I called. The turn was a two. He put me all-in for about 25,000 and I called. He had jack-four for top pair with a straight draw, I had pocket queens. The river was a seven so I doubled up!"
