Lodden Over 500K, But Not Without Controversy

Level 14 : 1,200/2,400, 300 ante

Team PokerStars Pro Johnny Lodden led out for 27,500 on a board of {9-Hearts}{4-Hearts}{5-Spades}{j-Hearts}. Mohamed Mamouni min-raised to 55,000, and Lodden tank-called.

The {q-Clubs} completed the board, Lodden checked, and Mamouni snap-checked behind, showing {q-}{j-}.

Lodden tabled {10-Hearts}{8-Hearts} for a turned flush, and raked in the pot.

The very next hand, Paul Volpe opened to 4,800 from under the gun, Victor Sbrissa called in middle position, Mamouni called on his left, and Lodden three-bet to 16,200 from the big blind.

Volpe tanked for a bit then folded. With his cards deep into the muck, Sbrissa said that he saw Volpe's holdings. The floor was called over, and they told Sbrissa to just resume playing. He did, immediately folding.

While Mamouni was in the tank, Sbrissa had a few words with Volpe.

"I don't even know why you're mad at me," Volpe shot at him.

Mamouni eventually called, and the flop fell {k-Hearts}{4-Hearts}{a-Diamonds}.

"Great flop for you," Sbrissa said to Volpe loud, enough for all to hear.

Lodden led out for 15,500, and Mamouni folded.

"You don't do that," Lodden told Sbrissa sternly.

Volpe admitted that he had {a-Hearts}{6-Hearts}, but didn't know how Sbrissa saw his hand.
