Kevin Stani made it 200,000 from the small blind, and in the big blind Arnaud Mattern took a moment before reraising to what looked like just shy of 600,000. We couldn't get the exact amount of the reraise because before anyone had time to count it, Stani had gone all in and Mattern had snap-called for his tournament life.
Stani: 
Mattern: 
Flop: 
- no problems for Mattern there.
Turn: ...
, which was a big problem for Mattern, as it made Stani a set of threes, although it did give Mattern some outs to a flush.
River: 
And with that heartbreaking defeat for the Team PokerStars Pro, Mattern's hopes of being the first person in history to win two EPT titles vanished into thin air. A moment later and Mattern himself had vanished from the card room too. But that, as they say, is poker.
We are now heads up.
