Oh No, Arnaud!

Young French EPT winner and aviator sunglasses enthusiast Arnaud Mattern is down to just 2,500 or so after a disastrous first hand. Holding {10-?} {9-?}, he somehow managed to lead out on an {8-?} {6-?} {3-?} flop and found one caller. Come the {7-?} turn, giving Mattern the nut straight, he overbet the pot and his opponent called. On to the {8-?} river and Mattern bet again. His opponent raised, and Mattern paid off the full house -- his opponent turned over pocket sixes to take the pot.
