Diamonds Are Arnaud's Friend

After a early position limp, Regis Burlot limped the cutoff but Arnauad Mattern made it 1,000 to play from the button. The early limper called but Burlot folded.

The flop was {K-Diamonds} {5-Diamonds} {2-Diamonds} and the limper fired out 2,500 to which Mattern called fairly speedily. A fourth diamond the {Q-Diamonds} came on the turn and the limper checked before quickly folding to a 2,250 bet from the Frenchman.
