Lodden Takes the Shirt Off of Taylor's Back

There was around 12,000 in the pot when we caught up with Johnny Lodden checking the {2-Hearts}{3-Hearts}{7-Hearts} flop. Rob Taylor bet 8,000, which Lodden called.

Lodden checked again on the {j-Diamonds} turn and Taylor dwelled up for a very long time. Eventually he checked too, and they saw the river.

The river was the {7-Clubs} and this time Lodden bet out a hefty 22,000. Taylor tanked up for a while. Then he laughed. Then he moved his lips as though making complicated calculations, before suddenly looking very serious. Then he tanked up again for another couple minutes.

Then he called - and immediately flung his head back in despair as Lodden turned over {a-Hearts}{k-Hearts} for the flopped flush. Lodden moved up to 110,000. The hapless Taylor mucked and dropped down to just 8,000.
