Lodden Wins Large Pot in Near Silence

A gentleman in mid position opened for 6,000 only for Johnny Lodden to make it 15,500 from the cutoff. Back to the initial raiser, who made it 37,500, and then back to Lodden, who called.

This makes it all sound very snappy, but in reality the preflop action was punctuated by long periods of tankage on both sides, and was conducted in absolute silence - some classic Scandie poker from Lodden and his opponent.

They saw a {6-Hearts}{10-Hearts}{10-Spades} flop which they both checked. The initial raiser checked again and Lodden spoke for the first time. "You know how much you have?" he asked. About 80,000, was the answer. Lodden bet 28,000, and it was enough to end the hand.

Lodden was up to 660,000 after that.
