Marvin And Doyle in Bronze

Only a handful of tables remain over in the Bronze Section of the Brasilia Room, but amongst those tables is one featuring Doyle Brunson and one featuring Marvin Rettenmaier. We recently caught a quick hand at each respective table.

  • When we arrived at Rettenmaier's table, there was already over 5,000 in the pot and a {j-Spades}{j-Clubs}{k-Spades} flop was out on the felt, with Rettenmaier heads up against Steve Yea. Rettenmaier checked here and Yea bet 3,400. A check-raise to 9,200 from Rettenmaier was enough to scare off Yea and scoop up the pot.
  • Brunson opened the pot to 2,700 from middle psotion and only the player in the cutoff would make the call. The dealer flipped over a {2-Hearts}{2-Clubs}{8-Hearts} flop and without hisitaation, Brunson bet 4,500. That was enough to scare off his opponent as Brunson raked in the small pot.
