Lodden Continues To Climb
Team PokerStars Pro Johnny Lodden is up to 36,200 chips after taking down a large pot in a hand with Safwan Al-Farhan of the United Arab Emirates.
Al-Farhan opened the betting to 600 from under the gun and it looked like he was only going to pick up the blinds but at the last moment Lodden, on the button, three-bet to 1,700. Both blinds folded but Al-Farhan made the call.
The dealer put out the 
flop and Al-Farhan lead into Lodden with a 2,100 bet. Lodden called and it was off to the 
flop we went. Al-Farhan sat riffling a pile of green chips before he stopped, picked up 4,500 worth of chips and bet them. Lodden wasted little time in making the call.
The river was the 
and Al-Farhan bet once again, setting the price at 5,500, leaving himself around 21,000 behind. Lodden sprung into action and raised to 15,500 leaving himself just 13,500 to play with. Al-Farhan sighed and did not look happy. He checked his cards again and they had not turned into a pair of aces or jacks and he reluctantly mucked his hand.
Lodden on a roll right now.
