Mattern the Tide

Arnaud Mattern
Arnaud Mattern

Arnaud Mattern told us about an interesting hand he played just before the break, where he called a preflop raise to 1,300, and another player called behind with just 10,000 left after the call.

The flop came down {k-}{k-}{k-} and the original raiser checked to Mattern, who bet around 2,500. The short stack shoved for his last 10,000, the original raiser folded, and Mattern was left with a decision. Eventually he called with pocket fives - and was delighted to find his opponent holding pocket fours and drawing thinner than an anorexic whippet.

Mattern is up to 40,000 - no mean feat after being down to just 11,000 not long ago.
