The choice is obvious

We arrived tableside to see Daniel Negreanu all in and dominated by Arnaud Mattern.

Negreanu: {A-Clubs}

{A-Clubs}

{J-Hearts}

Mattern:

{A-Hearts}

{Q-Clubs}

Board:

{10-Spades}

{5-Clubs}

{J-Spades}

{9-Clubs}

{J-Clubs}

Bink! Negreanu doubled to 425,000, while Mattern was reduced to a well below average 205,000.

"Nice hand, man," said Mattern, slightly woodenly.

"Thank you," replied a much more animated Negreanu. "No. Choice. At. All."
