Arnaud Mattern Eliminated in 37th Place ($15,693)

Poker Pro Arnaud Mattern has just been eliminated from the main event -- the result of back-to-back hands, each involving pocket jacks.

The first of which saw Mattern lose a race holding ace-king against the pocket jacks of Pierre Ayme. All of the money went in preflop and the board ran out {6-Clubs} {Q-Clubs} {Q-Diamonds} {5-Spades} {4-Spades} giving Ayme two pair and the win. That hand left Mattern with just 30,000 in chips.

Moments later, Arnaud moved all in from the small blind holding six-seven offsuit and was called by Sebastian Austy who held -- you guessed it -- pocket jacks. Unable to draw out on Austy's superior hand, Mattern ended up our 37th place finisher.
