Ten minutes after winning a massive pot with aces, PokerStars Team Pro Arnaud Mattern was dealt pocket rockets again, and won another massive pot.
Mattern opened to 500 from early position, Robson Carlos Venturini three-bet to 1,200 near the button, and the action folded back to Mattern who four-bet to 4,400. Venturini responded by throwing out a rainbow stack of chips in the middle, Mattern moved all in, and Venturini snap-called.

You're probably aware that PokerStars Team Pro Viktor "Isildur1" Blom won the Super High Roller last night, banking over $1.25 million. He's also a sicko (you probably know that too), and he just booked a last longer with Harry "UgotaBanana" Kaczka.
"How much?" Blom asked Kaczka.
"Any amount that will motivate you," Kaczka responded.
The two agreed on $10,000 because that's the buy in, but they continued the negotiations away from the table, and the wager could easily be higher. Blom also added that he won $4,000 playing blackjack last night.
