The End of the Road for Arnaud
Team Pokerstars Pro Arnaud Mattern has been eliminated after his pocket tens came up against a brick wall in the shape of a pair of queens.
Mattern raised from late position and the action folded around the to the big blind who asked how much Mattern had behind him. Mattern moved his hands out of the way to give the big blind an eyeful of his small stack. The big blind then bet 2,525 and Mattern made the call. The flop was all low and the big blind bet 2,950. Mattern made the call leaving about 4,000 behind. the turn was also low and the big blind, who had Mattern covered, declared he was all-in and Mattern made the call.
Mattern realising he was out threw a toy duck at Paul Berende. I assume it was Berende's good luck charm that hadn't brought the Frenchman the luck he needed this time.
