Rettenmaier In Danger

[user196975]

We don't know when the money went in but Marvin Rettenmaier doubled up Carl DiVeglia III.

Rettenmaier: {10-Hearts} {10-Diamonds}
DiVeglia III: {A-Clubs} {10-Spades}

The board was {A-Diamonds} {4-Diamonds} {Q-Clubs} {6-Hearts} {A-Hearts} and Rettenmaier is the lowest he's been all day. He went from a serious threat to the final table to playing on life support.

Player	Chips	Progress
Carl DiVeglia III	240,000	105,000
Marvin Rettenmaier	60,000	-200,000
