Kollmann From Hero to Zero
Erich Kollmann started the day with a sizable chip lead, but that must feel like a long time ago now. The Austrian pro did not have his day as he has just been eliminated by Ville Mattila.
Kollmann was seated under the gun and he opted to limp for 1,000. This invited many players into the pot, and after Joe Hachem had checked his big blind it was six-way action.
The flop came down 
and Kollmann bet 4,000 after both blinds had checked. Mattila was the only player that called, and heads up they saw the turn.
On the turn the 
showed up and Kollmann checked. Mattila fired out 9,000 and the Austrian check-raised to 25,000. Mattila tanked for a while and called. The river was the 
and quickly Kollmann moved all in for right around 45,000 chips.
Mattila didn't seem too happy about this but he finally called. Kollmann showed 
and that was no good against Mattila's 
. Kollmann showed that he also had the 
, and his tournament run was over. Mattila is now the chip leader.
