Rich showed 109, but Rettenmeier showed KJ and won the pot with a bigger flush. The big blind then made a comment to Rettenmaier about how long he took to call with the second nuts.
“I wasn’t trying to bluff her,” said Rettenmaier, implying that he took some time so that he could get the big blind to overcall.

Angelina Rich – 315,000

Top Pros Taking A Day 2 Shot
Oct 20, '19
Just a few minutes into the first level of the day, there are 11 $4,300 Day 2 entries into the field, which pushes the prizepool over the $500,000 guarantee.
Among the Day 2 buy-ins are triple crown winner Mohsin Charania, World Series of Poker bracelet winner Chris Klodnicki and World Poker Tour champion Marvin Rettenmaier. Those three players alone combined for more than $23 million in career tournament earnings.
A deep run in this event would push Klodnicki over the $10 million mark. He is fresh off a win for $99,545 in a WPT Legends of Poker prelim event here at the Bike last August, which put his career winnings at $9.9 million. Klodnicki won his bracelet in a $1,500 no-limit hold’em event in 2017, but is also very well-versed in high-stakes mixed games.
Charania also won a $1,500 no-limit hold’em event at the 2017 WSOP which was the final leg of his triple crown. He won an EPT title in Monte Carlo in 2012 and scored a WPT title in 2014 at the Five Diamond Poker Classic. He has more than $6.2 million in tournament earnings.
Rettenmaier is the only one of the trio who played a starting flight. Rettenmeier failed to bag and opted to buy directly into Day 2. Rettenmaier won just shy of $1.2 million at the $25,000 WPT Championship event in 2012.
Los Angeles regular Mike Eskandari also bought in directly to Day 2 after failing to survive yesterday’s Day 1C.
