Rettenmaier Falls

Level 7 : 200/400, 50 ante

Marvin Rettenmiaer was in middle position and he bed 2,425 on the {6-Hearts}{3-Diamonds}{5-Diamonds}{4-Spades} board, putting the action on Eric Baldwin on the button. Baldwin called and the dealer put the {4-Diamonds} onto the river.

Rettenmaier sat riffling chips for 45 seconds before moving all-in only to see Baldwin snap-call.

Baldwin flipped over {J-Diamonds}{7-Diamonds} for a flush, which Rettenmaier couldn't beat so he mucked his hand.

Rettenmaier was left with only 750 chips and these went into the middle on the next hand with {K-Spades}{6-Hearts}, was called by {K-Clubs}{8-Clubs} and when the board ran {3-Hearts}{J-Spades}{2-Diamonds}{A-Diamonds}{7-Clubs} Rettenmaier's tournament was over.

Benger Squeezes Pros Out of the Pot

Level 7 : 200/400, 50 ante

Jason Somerville raised to 800 from the cutoff, Noah Schwartz called on the button and Ludovic Geilich called from the small blind. Griffin Benger was in no mood for calling and he jammed all-in for around 9,000 but before we could count the bet's size, all the active players folded and Benger won the pot.
