Mattern Takes His Stand
Ricardo Tavares raised to 15,000 to open the pot, and Arnaud Mattern flatted in position. Around the table, Brian Roberts squeezed in a reraise to 46,000, and that folded Tavares without incident. Mattern shoved for 180,000, though, and Roberts tanked for a bit before making the call. The Frenchman was well ahead.
Showdown
Mattern: 
Roberts: 
The board ran out safe for Matten, coming 
. Up and down he goes, and this latest trend takes Mattern back up around 400,000.

Karr Shoves it In
We picked up the action on a 
flop. Patrik Antonius checked, and McLean Karr (who we infer was the preflop raiser) did as well, and Artem Litvinov bet 25,000 from the button. Antonius called, but Karr check-raised all in for 87,000 total. Litvinov folded instantly.
Antonius, though, would take at least five minutes to make his play. He cut out the bet and stared at Karr, rattling the chips in his hand shaking his head. "Wow, it's so close," he said finally, still clanking the calling chips together in his hand. A long while later, he folded showing the 
, and Karr is off the hook for now.
