Lodden's Two Pair No Good

Level 6 : 300/600, 75 ante

From middle position, a player raised to 1,500. Team PokerStars Pro Johnny Lodden made the call on the button and Steven Levy called from the big blind. The three players saw the flop come down {7-Diamonds}{6-Spades}{4-Spades} and Levy led with a bet of 2,600. Both the preflop raiser and Lodden made the call.

Fourth street was the {7-Hearts} and paired the board. Levy checked and so did the player in middle position. Lodden bet out 8,000 and that prompted a fold from Levy. The other player made the call.

The {9-Hearts} fell on the river and both players checked to go to showdown. Lodden tabled the {6-Hearts}{5-Hearts}, but was beat by his opponent's {8-Diamonds}{8-Hearts} and dropped back to 26,100 in chips.
