Red Card for Lodden


lying patiently on the felt, Tome Moreira (big blind) led for 14,000, only for Petter Pettersson (button) to push all in for around 60-70,000. With the crowd swarming in in anticipation of the tournament's biggest pot so far, Moreira rose from his seat and began shaking his head. In the meantime, Johnny Lodden left his seat on the neighbouring table and began guessing the holdings of the two players. "I reckon he's got A-J," he whispered. "It's easy."
A moment later, and Moreira released his hand, indeed showing

face-up. "You've folded," asked Petterson requiring confirmation, before tabling 
for the bluff. Moreira applauded his opponent.After the hand, Thomas Kremser, who had overheard Lodden's commentary, pulled out a red card from his pocket and jokingly showed it to Lodden. "What," laughed Lodden, "I normally get a warning first."
