Johnny Lodden Eliminated In 13th Place (€34,000)

The last Team PokerStars Pro has been eliminated from the 2012 PokerStars.net EPT Prague Main Event as Johnny Lodden was just eliminated by last year's runner-up, David Boyaciyan.

It happened when Ramzi Jelassi opened for 60,000 from early position and cleared the field all the way to Lodden on the button. He had the short stack at the feature table, and he opted to commit his last 779,000. Boyaciyan was next to act in the small blind and put in a raise, which drove Jelassi from the hand.

Lodden had a good hand, but he had run into the granddaddy of all hands as Boyaciyan woke up with aces. The flop wasn't all that exciting, but the turn was as it gave Lodden an open-ended straight draw. Much to the dismay of his fans back in Norway, the blanked on the river and Lodden was eliminated from the tournament in 13th place. Meanwhile, Boyaciyan took over the chip lead and is primed to make back-to-back EPT Prague Main Event final tables.
