Resurgent Mattern Gives Up Preflop
Team PokerStars Pro Arnaud Mattern has been chipping up well these past couple of levels but was close to undoing all of his hard work when he was put to the test by Sacha Ordelheide.
Gil Nehamkin, who has been very active on this table, opened the betting with a raise to 2,000 from the cutoff. Mattern made the call on the button but both players looked shocked as Ordelheide moved all in for what turned out to be 18,700 chips.
Nehamkin instantly folded but from the grimaces on Mattern's face, his decision was much more difficult. After less than a minute, Mattern decided to commit his chips in a different spot and reluctantly tossed his cards towards the muck.
