Lodden Cracks Kings

Action opened with Johnny Lodden in late position who raised to 450. The player on the button called as well as the player in the small blind. The big blind decided to three-bet the action, making it 2,050 to go. Lodden made the call only to find the player on the button move his whole stack in the middle for 8,700. The small blind and the big blind folded and action returned to Lodden who made the call.

Lodden: {3-Spades}{2-Spades}
Opponent: {K-Hearts}{K-Spades}

The flop paired Lodden when it came {6-Diamonds}{Q-Spades}{2-Hearts} but he was still behind the pocket kings of his opponent. The {6-Spades} came on the turn and gave Lodden spade outs. Unfortunately for his opponent, the {A-Spades} came on the river giving Lodden a winning flush, allowing him to chip up to 45,000.
