Mattern Has Jack, Still 5-bets Ostensson Preflop

Arnaud Mattern. Serious Business.
Arnaud Mattern. Serious Business.

A preflop raising war saw Jimmy Ostensson make it 10k, Arnaud Mattern on his immediate left up it to 30k, only to find him making it 65k. A micropause later, and Mattern had a big stack of 5ks ready to go over the line, and he slowly moved them forward, saying, "One forty-two." This 142k was the final straw which broke this standoff (one hesitates to use the term pissing contest when there is a prizepool of millions of Euro involved), and Ostensson passed.

Mattern showed him {J-Hearts} {10-Hearts}.
