Hand #20 – WPT Champions Club member Marvin Rettenmaier raises from the button to 21,000, and James Joyner calls from the big blind. The flop comes [Kc6c2d], Joyner bets 24,000, and Rettenmaier calls.
The turn is the [10s], Joyner bets 49,000, and Rettenmaier tanks for a while before he calls.
The river card pairs the board with the [6s], and Joyner moves all in for 319,000. Rettenmaier tanks for a while before he calls.
Joyner turns over [3h3s] for two pair, sixes and threes, but Rettenmaier turns over [Kh5h] to win the pot with a higher two pair, kings and sixes. Joyner is eliminated in ninth place.
Marvin Rettenmaier – 1,054,000 (105 bb)
James Joyner – Out in 9th Place ($14,300)
