Mattila Drinking Double

Ville Mattila
Ville Mattila

Ville Mattila and Ludovic Lacay each put 200,000 chips into the pot in a battle of the blinds, and they took a heads-up flop of {9-Hearts} {10-Hearts} {6-Clubs}. Ville Mattila, ever the deliberate actor, announced, "Bet," but he remained absolutely motionless, hands over his cards. Lacay chuckled a little bit, and the dealer leaned forward and asked Mattila how much. After another thirty seconds or so, he stated that it would be 325,000. Lacay quickly reraised, and Mattila got himself all in for 1.535 million total. Lacay had him well covered, and the cards were quickly on their backs:

Mattila: {J-Spades} {J-Clubs} {6-Diamonds} {6-Hearts} (set of sixes)
Lacay: {3-Hearts} {8-Clubs} {9-Clubs} {J-Hearts} (top pair, flush/open-ended straight draws)

The turn {J-Diamonds} further improved Mattila to top set, and the river {K-Spades} was safe enough to double him up in a big way. He's up close to 3.5 million now, taking over the chip lead from Lacay.
