Mattern Takes His Stand

Ricardo Tavares raised to 15,000 to open the pot, and Arnaud Mattern flatted in position. Around the table, Brian Roberts squeezed in a reraise to 46,000, and that folded Tavares without incident. Mattern shoved for 180,000, though, and Roberts tanked for a bit before making the call. The Frenchman was well ahead.
