Rettenmaier Heading Straight Up

A heavyweight tussle between two former WPT champions now as Tommy Vedes check-called a bet of 1,625 on the turn of a {4-Spades}{K-Diamonds}{J-Hearts}{10-Spades} board before opting to check-call a further 4,225 on the {2-Clubs} river against Marvin Rettenmaier.

The German's reputation as an "at it" merchant is not without some merit, but this time it was not true, Rettenmaier turning over :Ad:Qd for the nut straight.
