Arnaud Mat-terns Up the Pressure

Mattern: Poker Face Much Grumpier than Character

I just caught a battle of the near-minraises won decisively by prior EPT Prague-champ Arnaud Mattern. Preflop, action was seen from the dwell period where Mattern (in the cutoff) looked at his preflop reraise (to 2,175) and then at the 5,050 now sitting in front of his opponent. Slowly and deliberately, the aviator-shaded Frenchman made the call.

The flop came {2-Spades}

{2-Spades}

{6-Spades}

{9-Clubs}

. Arnaud now raised his opponent's 6,000 bet by another 6,200. Much more quickly than he'd made the raise, he got a fold and swept in the tidy pot, tabling {3-Spades}

{3-Spades}

{5-Spades}

for good measure.
