Matterning the Tide
Level 6
: 200/400, 50 ante
Three players remained in the hand when we arrived on the turn of the board and there was around 10,000 in the pot; all three players (two gentlemen in the small blind and UTG+1 positions respectively, and Arnaud Mattern in the hijack) checked it around.
The river was the and the small blind checked again. Mr. UTG+1 bet 3,600 - but Mattern now raised to 11.650, leaving himself a scant 8,000 behind. The small blind folded pretty swiftly and although Mr. UTG+1 took a litle longer over it, he folded too.
Mattern is now back up above his starting stack, on 33,000.
