2012 will undoubtedly go down as a year to remember for Marvin Rettenmaier. In January we saw him down under in Australia finishing 10th in the ‘Joe Hachem & Shane Warne Charity Event’. A nice start to the year and probably some good poker karma earned right?<\/p>\n

Crushing it in Europe<\/h3>\n

Well he proved this by quickly wreaking havoc in mainland Europe with numerous cashes in a lineup of cites that read more like a major rock band on tour, Prague, Dublin, Vienna, Berlin. And then of course there was Monte Carlo where he took 1st place for the 2k NLHE and of course a very nice pay day of $156,000. Marvin it seemed was clearly on a roll.<\/p>\n

Then all eyes turned to America<\/h3>\n

And with the ink hardly even dry on his sponsorship contract with PartyPoker<\/a> he went on to astound us all in the poker world by crushing the WPT Championship at the Bellagio and cashing for next to $1.2 million<\/a>. So with two back to back wins you\u2019d probably think this guy needs a break right?<\/p>\n

WSOP 2012<\/h3>\n

Nope, there\u2019s no rest for the wicked as they say and so Marvin dived head first into the WSOP and incredibly when he surfaced for air a few days later he\u2019d final tabled event #6 the 5k NLHE Mixed Max. Way to go buddy.<\/p>\n

Bluffs Power Ranking Champ<\/h3>\n

Now on top of all of this he\u2019s also sitting right at the top of Bluffs Power Rankings Top 20<\/a>. He\u2019s managed to steamroll his way past Jonathan Duhamel with a gap of over 200 points and trust us you won\u2019t find a gap larger than that anywhere in the whole list.<\/p>\n

The Million Dollar Question<\/h3>\n

So what makes this young German so damn good at the poker tables? I figured the best person answer me that was none other than Lance Bradley of Bluff:<\/p>\n

“Marvin’s been one of poker’s best kept secrets the past few years but I think the cat is out of the bag now. The guy can play. He’s gone from being in the mix in smaller buy-in live tournaments to winning the World Poker Tour championship and being a threat for BLUFF Player of the Year every year. It should serve as a shining example to those that dream of turning pro that getting to that point is a grind . It’s not easy, but hard work and dedication to your craft can pay off handsomely.”<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
