Lodden Thinks at the Table of Death

Level 7 : 150/300, 25 ante

We often crown a "Table of Death" during these early stages of tournaments when it is uncommon to find more than one notable at a table. Right now, Tom Dwan, Andrew Lichtenberger, and Sorel Mizzi are all at the same table and all have healthy stacks. We think that easily qualifies as the current "Table of Death".

Recently, they began playing everyone's favorite game, Lodden Thinks. Among the questions they were gambling on included how much it would take for a certain poker professional to walk or run naked from corner to corner of the Pavilion Room butt-naked. After a couple rounds of bidding, Mizzi hit $108,000 and both Dwan and Lichtenberger bought the under. The "Lodden" of the group guessed... $800! Mizzi was a little off. They also took guesses on the biggest bar tab run up by a poker player at a club this summer and how much a gentleman would sell his dog shaped card protector for.

It clearly hasn't destracted the players though. Lichtenberger has over 25,000, Dwan over 45,000 and Mizzi has nearly 60,000 chips. All of those numbers are well over the current average.
