Mattern the Tide

Arnaud Mattern told us about an interesting hand he played just before the break, where he called a preflop raise to 1,300, and another player called behind with just 10,000 left after the call.
The flop came down 
and the original raiser checked to Mattern, who bet around 2,500. The short stack shoved for his last 10,000, the original raiser folded, and Mattern was left with a decision. Eventually he called with pocket fives - and was delighted to find his opponent holding pocket fours and drawing thinner than an anorexic whippet.
Mattern is up to 40,000 - no mean feat after being down to just 11,000 not long ago.
