Tihov Not Afraid Of "Mad" Marvin

Level 15 : 1,500/3,000, 500 ante

On a flop reading {6-Clubs}{q-Clubs}{5-Hearts} Marvin Rettenmaier checked in the small blind seat, two to his left was Rami Khaddaj and he checked, then the action was on Ivan Tihov in the cutoff. Tihov bet 12,500 and that put the action back on Rettenmaier.

The German PartyPoker sponsored pro check-raised to 31,500 and that was enough to fold out Khaddaj but Tihov had other ideas and raised it up to 63,500. Rettenmaier smelled a rat and got out of there as quick as he could.

One of the players asked Tihov to show a card and he obliged by flipping over the {5-Clubs}. Make of that what you will.
