Mattila Doubles His Short Stack

Level 28
: 40,000/80,000, 40,000 ante

Jussi Mattila's stack dwindled to 10 big blinds with both his opponents stealing his blinds. He found a great spot to jam them in when he got on the button and that's exactly what he did.
Jari Saviaho called with from the small blind and hit a pair after the flop came
. However, the flop also awarded Mattila a set of kings.
Mattila improved to a full house after the came on the turn. The
on the river also gave Saviaho a full house but it was lower than Mattila's and he got a much needed double up.
