Johnny Lodden - 3rd Place

Steve O'Dwyer opened to 150,000 on the button with {a-Diamonds}{10-Hearts}, Team PokerStars Pro Johnny Lodden three-bet to 400,000 with {a-Hearts}{j-Diamonds} from the small blind, and O'Dwyer tank-called.

The flop fell {7-Clubs}{4-Spades}{10-Diamonds}, Lodden led out for 350,000, and O'Dwyer made the call.

The turn was the {3-Spades}, Lodden shoved for 1,450,000, and O'Dwyer quickly called. Lodden was drawing to a jack and a jack only, and the {k-Diamonds} bricked off on the river.

This is the largest cash of Lodden's career, topping his 27th-place finish in the 2010 World Series of Poker.

The heads-up players are now on a quick, 15-minute break.

Great Folds Left and Right

Level 28 : 30,000/60,000, 10,000 ante

Andrew Pantling and Steve O'Dwyer have been battling it out for a while now and both players have been making some great laydowns. Pantling just folded {8-Clubs}{5-Spades} to a bet on a {5-Diamonds}{K-Clubs}{J-Clubs} flop when O'Dwyer had {A-Hearts}{K-Spades} and on the very next hand it was the latter who folded a pair.

The board read {5-Hearts}{5-Diamonds}{8-Diamonds}{6-Hearts}{2-Clubs} in a checked-down hand that was raised preflop by Pantling when the Canadian bet 450,000 on the river. O'Dwyer folded his {J-Clubs}{6-Spades} after a while when Pantling had {A-Diamonds}{8-Spades}.
