Celebrity Event Champion Mattila Off to a Hot Start

Level 4: 100/300 (300)
Entries: 159/179

Earlier this week, Jussi Mattila won the Kings of Tallinn €150 Celebrity Event for €7,235 and is off to a hot start today as well in Day 1a of the Main Event.

Mattila was witnessed with a stack of around 70,000 and shared with PokerListings how he got most of his newly found chips.

A player opened from the cutoff for 800 before Mattila, who said he already showed a few bluffs, three-bet to 3,000 from the small blind. Mattila’s opponent called and the duo got it in on a seven-seven-jack flop.

Mattila’s opponent had a decent hand with ace-jack but was drawing thin for his tournament life after Mattila turned over queens. Bricks came on the turn and river for Mattila’s opponent and he was on the rail with Mattila now in possession of his chips.
