Marvin Making it Happen

The flop read {A-}{k-}{10-} and Marvin Rettenmaier bet out 2,375 from middle position after his opponent had checked to him. The early position player opted to move all in for around 15,000 and Rettenmaier made the call.

Rettenmaier: {a-}{k-}
Opponent: {A-}{j-}

Rettenmaier held top two pair while his opponent held top pair with a gut-shot straight draw. If Rettenmaier could avoid a queen he would win a sizable pot. The {5-} on the turn and the {7-} on the river sealed the deal and Rettenmaier now sits with around 85,000
