Mattern of Fact

MarcC

A player in middle position limped for 300 before Arnaud Mattern made it 1,050 to play from the button. The blinds folded but the limper made the call before the flop came {6-Clubs}

{6-Clubs}

{2-Hearts}

{7-Diamonds}

.

Both players checked so it was straight to the turn {K-Diamonds}

{K-Diamonds}

. The middle position player decided to bet this time for a total of 1,500 and Mattern called before the river came {5-Hearts}

{5-Hearts}

.

Very quickly the middle-position player counted out a bet, this time for a total of 3,000. Mattern looked at his opponent and made the call. His {K-Spades}

{K-Spades}

{4-Spades}

was enough to beat his opponent's bluff attempt with {A-Hearts}

{A-Hearts}

{10-Diamonds}

.

Mattern is moving along nicely with 38,500.
