Mattila Over Brown
Level 12
: 800/1,600, 0 ante
Earlier and not long after Sammy Farha was eliminated, it was Chad Brown who eventually earned the dubious privilege of moving into Farha's vacated seat on chip leader Ville Mattila's left. So far Brown has held onto his chips, although still sits with roughly the stack which which he started Day 2.
Just now a hand arose in which a player raised to 3,700 from under the gun and both Brown and Mattila called from the blinds. The flop came 
, and when it checked to the raiser he bet 5,000 and Brown called. Mattila then carved out a check-raise to 31,100, forcing a quick fold from the UTG player. Brown took considerably more time to make his decision before finally folding as well.
