Anthony Spinella

Anthony Spinella defended big blind against a Maxx Coleman early open and the two saw a board of {9-Spades}{7-Diamonds}{9-Diamonds}{2-Hearts}{6-Clubs} with Spinella check-calling 40,000 and then 100,000. Spinella's third check prompted Coleman to immediately fire 250,000, and Spinella mucked in short order with a pat of the table.

Mermelstein Folds to Alexander

Level 21 : 8,000/16,000, 2,000 ante

We found Aaron Mermelstein with 160,000 in front of him in middle position on a {9-Clubs}{10-Hearts}{6-Hearts} flop. DJ Alexander had made it 415,000 from the button, and Mermelstein was in the tank. He eventually folded and Alexander flashed a card before dragging the pot. From what we gathered in the chatter after the hand, Mermelstein had check-raised the flop and the card Alexander flashed was a ten.

Rettenmaier Shoves River

Level 21 : 8,000/16,000, 2,000 ante

A player in the small blind and Marvin Rettenmaier, who was in early position, each put in 80,000 on a {4-Diamonds}{a-Spades}{q-Diamonds} flop. On the {j-Clubs} turn, the small blind asked how much Rettenmaier had left and then checked. "Mad Marvin" fired small with 55,000 and the small blind called. On the {8-Clubs} river, Rettenmaier shoved all in when checked to. His opponent tanked a couple of minutes and folded for the 247,000.

He asked Rettenmaier to show the bluff but the German mucked.
