More For Mattern
Thanks to roving reporter Gloria Balding for this one.
Ivan Demidov opened preflop to 4,000 and Barry Shulman quickly called, Arnaud Mattern then reraised to 17,600 to which Masaaki Kagawa cold-called and the action passed back to Demidov. The Russian almost went to push but then folded at the last second and Shulman folded also.
Both players checked the flop before Mattern fired 22,200 on the turn, Kagawa quickly called. The river was the and once again both players checked. Mattern flipped which was good enough to take down a fairly hefty pot.
