Brian Powell raised, and Arnaud Mattern, with 5,000 of his 12,000 remaining chips already in the pot in the form of an ante and a small blind, called all in. On their backs.
Powell: 
Mattern: 
Board: 
The sixes held, and a smiling Mattern doubled to 37,000.
Next hand, Mattern pushed from the button and got looked up by Anthony Newman in the big blind. It looked bad this time...
Mattern: 
Newman: 
But wait! Board: 
("Woah!" came the chorus at the table, "Chip and a chair!") 
Mattern doubled up again, to 83,000 this time. He turned to the dealer.
"If I make the final table, you're invited to the party, and you can bring all your friends and family."
He's now got an in-with-a-chance 10 big blinds.
