Luske Doubles Through Maimone

Level 18 : 5,000/10,000, 1,000 ante

With a substantial pot already brewing and the board reading {Q-Clubs}{10-Hearts}{6-Spades}{5-Diamonds}, Nick Maimone bet 60,000 from the big blind and Marcel Luske shoved from middle position for 213,000, sending Maimone into the tank.

"I have a pair but I don't think I'm ahead," said Maimone. "Kind of a gift, I think. You're not going to bluff me with that many chips. Maybe you have a draw?"

Ultimately, Maimone called and Luske flipped over {5-Spades}{5-Hearts} for a turned set of fives, which was far ahead of Maimone's {J-Clubs}{10-Diamonds}. The {K-Clubs} on the river changed nothing and Luske took the pot to double up.

"You turned me. If I bet that flop, I win," said Maimone as Luske stacked his newly-acquired chips.
