Lodden Hooked
"May I see your chips, Johnny?" asked a very polite Dario Minieri in the big blind position. "No," said Johnny, but Minieri peeked anyway. He called, as did a third player in mid position.
The turn was the and again it checked around to Lodden. This time he bet 8,500. Minieri folded, but Mr. Mid Position flat-called before checking the river as well. After a long pause, Lodden checked behind - and promptly mucked when Mr. Mid Position turned over for a turned set. Lodden sighed and looked up at the ceiling as though the poker gods might tell him what he'd done wrong. He didn't seem to get any response, though, and is left with 65,000.
