Luske Reaches End of the Line
Level 20
: Blinds 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante
Marcel Luske was down to just a few chips, which he committed to the pot from middle position. Cutoff Thomas Cullis and Miguel Riera on the button then created a side pot, and the 2♦J♠9♥ flop was fanned.
Cullis bet 50,000, quickly getting Riera to fold.
Marcel Luske: Q♣9♦
Thomas Cullis: 10♥10♦
Luske had flopped a pair, but it was not enough yet to conquer Cullis' tens. Luske received no further help on the 8♦ turn or 7♥ river, sending the Dutch poker legend to the exit.
A few hands later, Jacob Baumgartner was also eliminated from this table.
