Mattern-er Prize?
Arnaud Mattern check-called a bet of 225,000 from Konstantin Bilyauer on a flop of before both players checked the turn and river. Bilyauer showed but it was no good against Mattern's .
Next hand saw Mattern open the small blind to 150,000 but fold when Bilyauer made it 365,000.
A couple of hands later and Kevin Stani limped in the small blind, Mattern checking his option. Stani fired out 75,000 on a flop of and then 175,000 on the turn. Mattern called both these bets to see a river, Stani checked this time and now Mattern bet 320,000 putting Stani into the tank, but the Norwegian folded and another pot went to the Team PokerStars Pro.
Mattern opened the small blind in the next hand to 165,000 and Bilyauer attempted to reraise but accidentally made a string bet and it was counted as a call. Mattern now fired 220,000 on the flop and Bilyauer, still rueing his mistake folded once again.
The Frenchman looks to be slowly edging back towards the chip lead.
