Reard Goes Runner-Runner to Chop with Mattsson
Level 14
: Blinds 1,500/3,000, 3,000 ante
Satish Sanan opened from early position and Alexandre Reard three-bet the cutoff to 16,000. Simon Mattsson then shoved for just under 50,000 from the small blind. Sanan folded, and Reard called.
Simon Mattsson: K?K? 
Alexandre Reard: K?Q?
Mattsson was a huge favorite to double up and it looked almost certain he would after the 8?6?4? flop. The 5? turn did bring around some chop outs, and the 7? river was one of them as there was a straight on board, which meant they chopped the pot.
