Killing Me Softly
The 10K wins...
Matusow (higher pitch): "Philly!"
De Wolfe (even higher): "Philly!"
Matusow: "Hey Phil, when was the last time you won a 10K event? I was probably still in high school...1989? I was in high school!"

Dustin Dirksen opened the pot with a raise to 1,650 from under-the-gun. Lodden made the call from the cutoff and when the action fell to Fox, he kicked it up to 8,000. Dirksen folded and Lodden then opted to put Fox all in. After an examination of Lodden's chip stack, Fox opted to call and turned over a pocket pair of tens; Lodden showed queens. A nine-high board ensued and Lodden took down the pot without a sweat.
