Marvin Rettenmaier (Seen Here in Earlier WSOP Play) Is Among the Notable Pros Still Vying for this PLO Bracelet

German online beast and back-to-back WPT winner Marvin Rettenmaier has earned millions of dollars during his relatively short poker career, and today he is looking to add a WSOP bracelet to an already impressive résumé.

A veteran of prestigious high-roller events and the European tournament circuit, as well as the nosebleed stakes online games still raging in the Old Country, Rettenmaier is making his presence known here today. He has steadily built an above average stack, and after watching him play a recent hand, it is clear how he earned every one of those chips.

With the flop reading {6-Spades}{2-Hearts}{j-Diamonds}{8-Clubs}, and over 10,000 in the pot already, Rettenmaier was on the button against two other opponents. When both checked to Rettenmaier, he tossed out a bet of 4,800 and found one caller. The {9-Clubs} on the river completed several draws, and the danger card was checked down. Rettenmaier's opponent did not want to flip his hand up, and said "I missed" before revealing the {3-Spades}{5-Clubs}{q-Clubs}{4-Spades}, and the German pro's {6-Hearts}{6-Diamonds} along with two cards we missed, were good enough to claim the pot.
