We caught up with this hand on the turn. With the board showing {Q-Clubs}

{Q-Clubs}

{8-Spades}

{7-Spades}

{10-Spades}

, Arnaud Mattern bet 9,600. His opponent, YM Hu, made the call. Mattern pushed the river {4-Hearts}

{4-Hearts}

for almost 26,000.

Hu had Mattern covered and agonized over the call for almost five minutes. A large crowd of players gathered around the table, hoping that Hu would bust Mattern. Hu did eventually make the call with pocket aces. He saw the bad news when Mattern showed him {10-Clubs}

{10-Clubs}

{7-Clubs}

for a turned two pair.

Mattern now has almost 60,000 chips.
