"Can You Be That Mad?"

He's "That Mad"
He's "That Mad"

When we arrived at the table, the board had already been completed {j-Spades}{k-Clubs}{5-Clubs}{k-Hearts}{a-Spades}. There was about 20,000 in the middle, and "Mad" Marvin Rettenmaier moved all in for 15,675. His opponent, Theo Jorgensen was in the tank.

Jorgensen, who won this event in Season IX, sat silently, studying both the board and Rettenmaier. Eventually, Jorgensen adjusted his navy blue San Diego Padres hat, rubbed his eyes, and broke the silence.

"Are you really that sick?" he asked Rettenmaier. "Can you be that 'Mad,' Marvin?"

Rettenmaier, the only back-to-back WPT Main Event winner in history, sat silently and stoically.

Finally, Jorgensen lifted his cards off of the felt and painfully mucked {k-Diamonds}{9-Hearts} face up.

"That was hard," Rettenmaier blurted, grinning.

"I am going to go crazy," Jorgensen announced, anticipating the bluff.

Rettenmaier looked at his cards, turned over the {6-Spades}, and then after ten seconds or so he showed the {5-Spades}.

"That's where 'Mad' Marvin came from," Jorgensen sighed.
