"This is Really Bad..."

Level 10 : 500/1,000, 100 ante

With the flop reading {7-Spades}{6-Spades}{4-Diamonds} the board had been checked to Marvin Rettenmaier who had bet 2,700.

Then Andrey Kazankov had check-raised all in for 32,100.

Then Alexander Dovzhenko also moved in, albeit for 23,900.

The onus was back on Rettenmaier who sat calculating the pot and then the inner 'madness' took hold.

"I want to gamble so bad," Rettenmaier stated.

A pause, the German WPT winner thought again.

"This is really bad," he declared as if absolving himself from his sins, his hand hovering above the felt with calling chips.

A moment's doubt, he pulled the chips back before saying with more conviction this time, " I want to gamble..."

The chips were flung into the middle and again Rettenmaier used a disclaimer, "This is so terrible," he giggled.

Kazankov: {8-Hearts}{5-Spades}
Dovzhenko: {7-Diamonds}{7-Hearts}
Rettenmaier: {K-Spades}{8-Spades}

The {3-Diamonds} turn changed nothing, Rettenmaier needed a spade or at least a five, Dovzhenko needed the board to pair, Kazakov needed anything else. The river was the {Q-Hearts} and Kazankov virtually tripled up, Rettenmaier was left with fumes while Dovzhenko was eliminated.
