On the first, Jerry Yang limped and then called when Mattsson raised to 310,000 from the cutoff. Both players checked after the {4-Clubs}

{4-Clubs}

{3-Spades}

{10-Clubs}

flop and the {8-Spades}

{8-Spades}

on the turn, but when the {J-Hearts}

{J-Hearts}

fell on the river Yang bet 300,000. Mattsson called, then mucked when Yang turned over {4-Spades}

{4-Spades}

{4-Diamonds}

for a set. Yang improved to 3.7 million while Mattsson slipped to 1.8 million.

On the very next hand Mattsson raised to 225,000 from late position and John Armbrust called on the button. The flop came {4-Diamonds}

{4-Diamonds}

{10-Diamonds}

{5-Hearts}

and Armbrust called Mattsson's 340,000 bet. The two checked after the {J-Hearts}

{J-Hearts}

on the turn and {3-Clubs}

{3-Clubs}

on the river, and this time Mattsson couldn't beat Armbrust's {K-Spades}

{K-Spades}

{10-Spades}

. His stack was thus reduced to 1.2 million while Armbrust is up to 5.3 million.
