Olivier Busquet's Elimination Makes Simon Mattsson a Millionaire
Olivier Busquet opened to 20,000 from early position. A couple positions down sat the Swede Simon Mattsson who made it 55,000 from the cut off. The button and both blinds got out of the way and the decision was back on Busquet.
Busquet, who's last two cashes were wins (EPT Barcelona's Super High Roller in August for €896,434 and UKIPT's High Roller in October for £107,300) moved all in. We couldn't exactly count how much he shoved for, but it looked like well over 300,000. Mattsson asked how much it was roughly, soemthing we didn't catch unfortunately, and then called.

that accompanied the king on the flop didn't turn that around. The 
on the turn and 
on the river were blanks and Busquet was heading for the exit.
