Lodden Already Yo-Yo-ing

In a multi-way limped pot, all four players checked the {9-Hearts} {8-Clubs} {5-Diamonds} flop. When the {5-Clubs} came on the turn, the action was checked to Johnny Lodden, who led out for 150 from early position. Only the small blind came along. The river was the {10-Diamonds}. The small blind checked and Lodden led again, this time for 425, and earned a call.

Lodden turned up {K-Spades} {5-Spades} for trips and took down a nice early pot.

Only a few hands later, however, Lodden raised it up to 200 from the big blind behind two late position limpers and both men called. All parties involved checked the {A-Hearts} {K-Diamonds} {5-Diamonds} flop as well as the {6-Clubs} which fell on the turn. When the {7-Spades} appeared on the river, Lodden quickly tossed out a single purple 500 chip. The cutoff folded, but the big blind raised to 1,500.

Looking quite perplexed, Lodden stared at the board, attempting to figure out what his opponent possibly could have here. Ultimately, he tossed in a call.

Unfortunately for Lodden, the button made a runner-runner straight with the {8-Hearts} {9-Hearts} and raked in the pot.
