Rettenmaier Gets Caught Up in a Monster Pot

Level 3 : 100/200, 0 ante

With the flop reading {q-Hearts}{5-Clubs}{2-Clubs}, there were still five players alive in the hand. The action checked to Marvin Rettenmaier in middle position who bet 3,000. His opponent on his left called while the cutoff raised to 10,000. The action folded to Orlando Romero in early position who re-raised to 27,000. Rettenmaier shoved all in for around 35,000 and the cutoff also pushed all in for his remaining 23,500. Romero called having both players covered.

Marvin Rettenmaier: {q-Clubs}{j-Clubs}
Orlando Romero: {a-Clubs}{9-Clubs}
Cutoff: {2-Hearts}{2-Diamonds}

In what looked to be a good flop for Rettenmaier, quickly turned into a disaster when the cards were tabled. The turn brought the {10-Clubs} giving Romero the nut flush but the {5-Spades} paired the board on the river. The cutoff made a full house to take the main pot of around 80,000 while Romero scooped the side pot. Rettenmaier was forced to head to the registration desk for a re-entry.
