No Johnny No No No!

Team Pokerstars Pro Johnny Lodden has played fantastically well all day and ran his stack over the 100,000 mark. Unfortunately, he has taken a big setback. We arrived at the table and could see that a sizeable chunk of his stack was missing and Dominic Nitsche's stack had grown by the same size. We believe that Lodden ran {a-} {8-} into the pocket Kings of Nitsche in a 90,000 pot.

Then it went from bad to worse in this next hand.

Lodden opened for 2,500 under the gun and Andrea Benelli called as did two more players. The flop was {2-Diamonds} {2-Clubs} {4-Diamonds} and the big blind checked over to Lodden who bet 5,150 and Benelli was the only player to call.

The turn was the {a-Spades} and Lodden placed a meaty bet of 13,800 into the middle and Benelli made the call. The river was a tricky looking {3-Diamonds} and Lodden bet 22,000. Benelli had a really good think about it before finally calling. Lodden showed {a-Hearts} {k-Clubs} and Benelli was the most relieved man in the building when he turned over {a-Clubs} {4-Clubs} for two pair and the winning hand.

Lodden was knocked down from the dizzy heights of the leader board to ~50,000
