Massaged Marvin Wins Another Pot

Level 12 : 800/1,600, 200 ante

A common site in live poker tournaments are the various massage girls vigorously rubbing life back into poker players' weary muscles. Marvin Rettenmaier is one of many players who advocate the services of the Revive Touch girls and his decision to have a back rub before the break has just paid off.

The action folded to Rettenmaier in the hijack and he opened to 3,400. His only opponent was Ivan Tihov in the big blind who defended with a call. The pair shared a {6-Clubs}{3-Spades}{4-Diamonds} flop, a flop they both checked. The turn was the {10-Spades} and Tihov fired a bet of 4,400 into his German opponent. Rettenmaier did not believe him though because he raised it up to 12,600 and Tihov quickly folded.

Did it have anything to do with being the massage? We'll let you make you own minds up.
