Rettenmaier to the Front

[user66118]

Level 10 : 400/800, 100 ante

Marvin Rettenmaier opened to 1,700, and he found calls from both the small and big blinds to go three ways to the flop.

It came {4-Diamonds} {2-Spades} {7-Spades} , and Rettenmaier continued out with 2,600 more chips. The small blind called, but the big blind check-raised to 10,400 total. Rettenmaier called that raise only to see the small blind shove all in for a few thousand extra. Not to be outdone, the big blind reshoved for a bit more than that, and Rettenmaier called down both opponents with a chance at the double knockout.

Showdown
Rettenmaier: {4-} {4-}
Small Blind: {A-Spades} {J-Spades}
Big Blind: {2-} {2-}

Rettenmaier's set was the best hand as the cards lay, but he needed to fade a deuce and nine spades to earn the knockout. The turn {Q-Diamonds} was a blank, and the {K-Hearts} river was, too. Red cards are just what Rettenmaier wanted to see, and the double knockout has pushed him up to chip-daddy territory with 165,000 now.
