Lodden Active as Ever

Current chip leader Johnny Lodden continues to mix it up, playing most of the hands he's dealt. He's earned varying results, but the bleary-eyed Norwegian (we've heard rumors of quite a wild night at one of the local clubs) is still sitting at the top, despite dropping a few pots in the post-dinner hour, two of them to Michal Zaremba.

On a flop of {K-Spades}

, Lodden checked from the big blind, Zaremba bet 1,200 and Lodden called. The {6-Hearts}

on the turn brought checks from both players. The river was the {5-Clubs}

and Lodden settled on a bet of 2,650, which Zaremba quickly called. Zaremba's {K-Hearts}

for top pair bested Lodden's second pair with {Q-Clubs}

and he dragged the pot.

On a subsequent hand Lodden limped in, Zaremba popped it to 1,175 from the button and Lodden called. Both players checked the {Q-Spades}
