We caught the short-stacked Bart Luyckx involved in a hand, and it turned out to be a real gem. Down to his last 4,000 or so Luyckx limped from under-the-gun and the action folded around to big blind Li Hong Jin, who eyed up Luyckx tiny stack and then juiced it up to 2,200 to go.

The Belgium obviously had plans for the hand and got the rest of his chips in and Jin made a quick call.

Bart Luyckx: {a-Clubs}{10-Hearts}
Li Hong Jin: {a-Spades}{k-Clubs}

Things were looking a little sketchy for Luyckx, who had the dominated hand but he seemed upbeat and showcased his card whispering skills.

“I’m going to hit a ten,” stated Luyckx confidently.

The dealer spread the flop and wouldn’t you know it, the window card was the {10-Diamonds} followed by {5-Spades}{j-Spades}. Luyckx’s joy turned to ashes in his mouth with the arrival of the {k-Spades} turn, and with Jin holding the {a-Spades} things were not looking good.

“I feel as though a queen is coming,” said Luyckx with an air of premonition as he showcased his card whispering skills once again, as spookily, the {q-Hearts} peeled off on the river to give the Belgium a much needed double up. We are not sure what this weekend’s lottery numbers are but recommend Mr. Luyckx buy a ticket as soon as he is able.
