A few months back, Arnaud Mattern was at a loss, his fellow Team PokerStars Pro Bertrand 'ElkY' Grospellier was seemingly invincible, doing well at everything whereas Mattern just wasn't getting the same breaks.
Mattern did some thorough research into hand histories and found one important difference of what ElkY was doing that he wasn't, ElkY was simply winning every crucial flip where Mattern was losing them.
Today though, Mattern is winning these big hands, having been moved tables, Mattern 3-bet Martin Wendt's 2,100 UTG open to 5,600. Wendt shipped his 20,000 stack into the middle and Mattern called with 
flipping vs Wendt's 
.
As the board came 
, Wendt sighed as he put his coat on, "That's how you win these things..."
Mattern has 121,000.
