Monster Pot for Mattila

Level 9 : 400/800, 0 ante

We just watched a big three-way all-in hand take place over on Table 359 involving Timo Pfutzenreuter, Ville Mattila, and Blake Barousse.

The hand began with a raise from Matilla from under the gun, then a reraise from a short-stacked Barousse from the button. Pfutzenreuter put in a four-bet from the small blind, prompting Sammy Farha to tank for a while in the big blind before letting his hand go. Subsequent betting, however, saw both Barousse and Matilla all in, with Pfutzenreuter only covering Matilla by a little.

Pfutzenreuter: {A-Spades}{A-Diamonds}{K-Hearts}{4-Hearts}
Matilla: {A-Hearts}{A-Clubs}{7-Hearts}{5-Clubs}
Barousse: {K-Clubs}{J-Clubs}{10-Diamonds}{9-Diamonds}

"I like his hand," said Farha, pointing across at Barousse's just before the flop came {8-Spades}{K-Spades}{9-Hearts} to put Barousse in front. The {3-Clubs} then landed on the turn, with another player noting that a river six would alter the balance.

Then came fifth street… the {6-Diamonds}! Matilla had made a straight, knocking out Barousse and leaving Pfutzenreuter with about a half-dozen big blinds. That pot looks to have pushed Matilla past Daniel Negreanu and into first position at the moment.
