The River Doesn't Mattern
Level 14
: Blinds 3,000/5,000, 5,000 ante
Arnaud Mattern raised to 11,000 and Nikolay Volper called one seat over on the button. Ryan Jones then jammed the big blind for 71,000 and Mattern reshoved to force out Volper.
Ryan Jones: A♣8♣ 
Arnaud Mattern: K♦Q♦
The 7♦6♦5♦ flop left Jones drawing dead to runner-runner straight flush, but the 3♣ turn sealed his fate to make the 4♠ river meaningless, as Mattern's flopped flush had already locked up the elimination.
