Arnaud Gets a Hand When it Matterns
Turns out he'd called a raise with
in the big blind to see a 
flop with two other players in the hand. They checked around on the flop but come the on the turn Mattern check-raised, getting one caller. The river was the fourth to give him quads and Mattern made a chunky bet, which his opponent paid off. Said unhappy opponent mucked - but said that he'd had pocket queens...
Phillips Tough Decision
The board read
