There were three players in the hand and three cards on the board when we arrived.

Flop: {J-Diamonds}

The first player bet out around 3,000 and the second player called. Arnaud Mattern, however, promptly raised to 7,500.

The original bettor swiftly passed, but the caller now announced all in for another 20,000 or so. "Hmm, big bet," mused Mattern. "Well, you'll get there sooner or later," his opponent countered. "The question, " Mattern continued, "Is whether it's sooner or later." He called.

Mattern: {A-Hearts}

for top pair
Mr. All In: {J-Spades}

for two pair

Turn: bink! {A-Clubs}

River:

"Sorry man," said a sheepish Mattern. Then, once his now-busted opponent had left, "That's why they sponsor me - 'cause I'm a luckbox."

Mr. Mattern is over the 100,000 mark.
