The Loddenator...And Loddenator II - Loddenated

On a {Q-Diamonds} {J-Spades} {9-Spades} flop, Rajinder Shina bets out 22,000 and Johnny Lodden raises to 65,000. Shina thinks for absolutely ages, a good five minutes, before eventually declaring all-in. Lodden snap-calls him with {10-Diamonds} {8-Hearts} for the flopped second nuts but there's a slight shock as Shina shows {9-Hearts} {9-Clubs} and had seriously contemplated folding here.

The turn and river don't pair the board and Lodden adds another 100,000 to his stack.

But...the honeymoon period is over, Lodden soon gives away a large chunk, he holds {Q-Diamonds} {J-Diamonds} on a {J-Hearts} {4-Hearts} {4-Clubs} flop but runs into Jani Sointula's {K-Spades} {K-Clubs} which holds and has to pay off the flying Finn to the tune of 122,000 putting him almost right back where he started before the previous hand.
