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.
