Mattern Gets Aggressive

[user4144]
[user4144]
Play is still hand for hand as we await the bubble to burst. During this period, the media have been ejected from the playing area, making it increasingly difficult to keep up with the action. With it being a Friday night, the cardroom is akin to cans of sardines in an elevator, with the forever thickening rail making even the tables on the side hard to get to.

However, using my upper body strength that has made me such a hit with the ladies (oh come on, let me dream!), I did manage to barge my way to the front to witness one hand.

Making a standard raise from the button, Arnaud Mattern was called by fellow countryman and recent Partouche Tour victor Alain Roy in the big blind. On the {8-Diamonds}{8-Hearts}{4-Spades} flop, Roy led out for 15,000, leaving himself around 40,000 behind. But Mattern wasn't having any of, the Prague EPT winner looking his man up and down before announcing all in.

Roy folded.
