Mathew "Matt" Forrest picture nr 45 / 179 in apat player photo

Just heard from Matt Forrest.  He went out holding A2 on an A A 2 flop.  All-in held 6 6 and hit runner runner sixes for quads.  Sick game if you ask me!

He"s just described his hotel as being like Guantanomo Bay, so sounds like a bad trip all round!
