Marvin Rettenmaier

Like many talented players, Marvin Rettenmaier was born in Germany in 1986. His first breakthrough performance came in 2009 when he finished in 2nd place in the main event of the Christmas Festival in the German town of Wisbaden. In the year that followed, he won paid seats in 10 major live events. To date, Rettenmaier has 24 paid finishes in WSOP events, 2 World Poker Tour titles, 5 final tables and 3 paid finishes in the European Poker Tour (EPT) series. To date, his total winnings in live tournaments exceed $7 million. His best result is a US$1.1 million purse won in 2012 in a $25,000 WPT tournament (he finished 1st).

His association with Titan Poker

In 2011, he caught the eye of online poker room Titan Poker (now Playtech). Titan Poker didn't have the popularity of PokerStars or Full Tilt Poker in America, but was very popular and respected in Europe. Despite his young age at the time, he already had 25 paid places in major events. This association solidified his status as an elite pro player.

Marvin is also a keen traveller

As well as racking up paid spots in some of the world's most prestigious tournaments (WSOP, EPT and WPT) he has also competed in a number of other events around the world. Looking at his track record, he has played in over 150 major tournaments and made the money in 90 of them. He has also played in more than 25 countries around the world. Marvin is always active and given his talent, it's possible that his best results have yet to be written.
