Mattern's Top Two Good

We came upon Arnaud Mattern's table as he pondered a river call, the board reading {J-Clubs} {K-Diamonds} {3-Clubs} {2-Diamonds} {10-Clubs}. With 6,000 already in the pot, the small blind fired out 4,000 and Mattern tanked for several minutes before tossing in a call.

His {K-Hearts} {J-Diamonds} was good against the small blind's {Q-Spades} {10-Diamonds} and Mattern raked in the 18,000 pot, taking his stack back up to 32,000.
