Mattern Clashes Minorly with Bilyauer

Team PokerStars Pro Arnaud Mattern, who is, as we have repeatedly mentioned, aiming for unprecedented EPT title number two here in Tallinn, opened for 95,000 in mid position. On the button, chip leader Konstantin Bilyauer called. The assembled railers and media seemed to collectively hold their breath, and those who were inside the rail and thus able to do so took a step forward, closer to the table.
However, that collective breath would not have to be held for long. Mattern checked the 
flop, and when Bilyauer bet 180,000, Mattern folded.
There hadn't been much in it between these two before the hand, but with that Bilyauer once again took a fairly clear lead, holding 3.6 million to Mattern's 3.1 million. The two of them have over half the chips in play between them.
