Ilan Boujedah raised to 30,000 preflop from UTG/Hijack and Nourredine A?taleb flat-called from the cutoff. It was passed to Arnaud Mattern in the small blind who came in for a reraise to 125,000 with about 700,000.
Back to Boujedah who clearly was not a believer and thought Mattern was squeezing because he made it 285,000. A?taleb thought something was up and got out of the way, Mattern recounted his stack once more and thought for several minutes as the players on the other table suddenly became very interested.
Mattern then moved all-in and Boujdeah instantly passed, giving almost 300,000 of his own chips up without even seeing a board.
Afterwards Boujedah said, "You will have to tell me what you had, after the tournament."
Mattern replied, "I've already forgotten about it."
