Lodden Wins a Monster in Dream Scenario

There now sits a massive stack in front of Mr. Lodden

Brace yourselves because there was plenty of action on this hand.

It was Johnny Lodden's big blind when the player under the gun raised to 1,100. The next player reraised to 3,000. Action then folded around to the player on the button who moved all in for 7,375. The small blind ducked out of the way before Lodden went into the tank. After a minute or so of thought, Lodden put in another raise to 13,000. The original raiser folded before the next player that had made 3,000 made the call. There would be three players to the flop, with one player all in.

The flop came down {J-Spades} {J-Hearts} {3-Spades} and Lodden checked. The other remaining player checked as well.

The turn brought the {2-Spades} and there would be no free cards this time decided Mr. Lodden. He bet out 12,500 and the other player called.

With the pot growing massive, the river was placed on the felt -- the {6-Diamonds}. Lodden slowly counted out all of his chips and then announced that he was all in. His opponent made the call. Lodden tabled {A-Spades} {A-Hearts} and his opponent showed two queens -- {Q-Spades} {Q-Hearts} -- to give Lodden the side pot first.

The all-in player from the button position showed {K-Diamonds} {K-Spades}, which meant that Lodden would take down the main pot as well. With that enormous pot and spectacular hand, Lodden has climbed over the 90,000-chip mark.
