when Marvin Rettenmaier fired a bet of 1,125 from the blinds and a player in middle position called. Then one playing from late position raised to 2,775, and "Mad Marvin" went into the tank. Finally he emerged to reraise to 7,825, squeezing the player in the middle out.
, eliciting chuckles all around.
