Brennan Wins The Mattern-a Prize

[user76023]

Level 3 : 100/200, 0 ante

Arnaud Mattern opened to 550 preflop and Rory Rees Brennan 3-bet to 1,500 sitting next to him. Mattern made the call to see a {9-Diamonds} {6-} {4-Diamonds} flop where Brennan fired out 1,800 after Mattern's check.

The Frenchman then replied by check-raising to 6,600 and Brennan pushed all-in receiving a quick call.

Brennan: {Q-} {Q-}
Mattern: {6-Diamonds} {5-Diamonds}

The {3-} turn increased the size of Mattern's draw even further but the river was neither a diamond or a seven, six, five or deuce meaning the Irishman picked up a 42,000 chip pot while Mattern has 3,500 left.
