The Arnaud Show

Arnaud Mattern is not just the biggest name at this final table, nor simply the biggest stack. He's also been by far the most active player so far. In 10 minutes spent watching his table, there was only hand which was not opened by Mattern with a raise. A lot of these preflop raises are getting through, but not all of them, and in the past few minutes Mattern has been unwilling to get involved with a three-bet.
In one hand we witnessed, Mattern raised to 95,000 under the gun and it folded around to Kevin Stani on the button who reraised to 180,000. Back around to Mattern who thought about it for perhaps 30 seconds before folding.
On another occasion, it had folded around to Mattern in the big blind when he raised to 100,000. In the big blind, Mikko Jaatinen was unimpressed and went all in for around 800,000. Mattern folded instantly, and Jaatinen's stack increased to over 900,000.
