Heavy Lodden

We arrived tableside to find the board reading 
and the gentleman in the big blind betting out 8,000 into the already hefty pot. Johnny Lodden in mid position gave it some thought and then made the call.
The dealer dropped the 
on the felt by way of a river, and this time the big blind bet out 12,000. Lodden paused briefly again before making the call - and was rewarded by his opponent turning over 
for a flopped flush draw and a turned gutshot draw that never came in. Perhaps it says something about Mr. Lodden's reputation that the look on his opponent's face suggested that he thought there was a chance he could be ahead - but Lodden revealed 
for just a pair of eights and a very good call.
Lodden is up to around 60,000 now.
