Luske Loots A Lot

The action was opened by the player in the under-the-gun plus one position. Marcel Luske was on his direct left when he three-bet to 4,800. Folded back around to the aggressor and they made the call.

The {k-Clubs}{4-Hearts}{9-Spades} flop would see the play checked to Luske, who bet 7,000. A call would usher in the {7-Spades} on the turn. This time when Luske's opponent checked, Luske would bet 17,000. This amount was enough to send Luske's opponent into the tank. Eventually he decided to fold and sent the pot to Luske.

"I think you folded ace-king," said Luske as he raked in the pot.

For your information, Luske is the all-time Dutch tournament earner, having just shy of $4 million in winnings on his resume. That includes two very deep runs in the Main Event in both 2003 and 2004.
