Lodden Gets Lucky

Three players made it to the {2-Hearts}{q-Spades}{10-Spades} flop and it checked around to the gentleman who raised preflop, who bet 3,300. Johnny Lodden (small blind) called. The third player (under the gun) folded.

Both players checked the {5-Spades} turn and they saw a {k-Hearts} river which they checked again. The original raiser turned over {a-}{q-} for what had been top pair on the flop - but Lodden's {k-Diamonds}{j-Diamonds} had turned into an even more top pair by the river, and he was up to 69,000.
