Mattsson's Cowboys Hold

Level 6 : 200/400, 50 ante

A player who's probably Nichlas Mattsson (the hood is rather too effective) just doubled through after getting his whole stack in preflop (18,225) with {K-Hearts}{K-Spades}. The action started in early position with a raise to 900, then Jean Thorel raised to 2,300 - Mattsson was the cold four-bettor pre to 6,225. The original raiser folded, but Thorel, checking out his opponent's shorter than average stack, threw in a jumble of chips setting him in. He was happy to oblige, and happy to see Thorel with {Q-Clubs}{J-Clubs}.

Thorel hit a jack on the {J-Diamonds}{3-Diamonds}{5-Clubs} flop but missed improvement on the {6-Hearts}{5-Hearts} turn and river. He's still on a decent 56,000 stack, while Mattsson is on 40,000.
