its so true. he seems to be doing so well recently. didnt he get massively chipped up in barca last week before losing a huge huge race? think good money has gotta be on him, especially with those chips!

Yeah he is a demon.

In Blackpool earlier this year Henning was telling me all the scandies refuse to play him HU now as he is "simply the best"

[better than hellmuth]

thats true

Lodden has HOW MANY?

Wow.

He the man.

Luke Patten is OUT.

Q-Q vs A-K

the Ladies failed to stand up.

Craziest of the Crazy happenings now.

And it's all about Mickey Wernick.

He got completely crippled following an JJ vs AK confrontation after a King came on the flop, Mickey thought he was out but he had 675 left which went in the next hand with AT but got called in 4 places before Ram raised it with A6. A ten came on the flop and Mickey was up to 3.2k. You'd think he'd stop there right? No. First hand after the colouring up, there's a limp and Mickey moves all-in again, Barney Boatman calls but Ram moves all-in. Barney folds and Ram shows  but Lord Wernick has...... , and now he's back to over 10k....impressive huh?

A quick note on Johnny Lodden.

Considering he plays every single one of these EPT events, he doesn't seem to win all that much, and you rarely witness him make the final table. (In fact, I don't recall one EPT that I've been to where he finalled.)

This is where the big bucks lie, yet he's not getting there. True, he has the ability to amass a huge amount of chips, but he also stuggles to hold onto them, often losing them by the bundle at the latter stages. So whilst his agressive chip-getter go style makes him a fearsome player, does it make him better than the players who keep a lower profile, yet still make the final table of these EPT events?

I've spoken to Stuart about those two hands, the showing of the AK was actually meant to signify that it was a weak hand and try and tilt his opponent. And as the for the KQ vs TT hand against I think Mick Cook who is now OUT, Stu said Mick had re-raised him 4 times previously when he had raised and he had decided to push, tough call to make with tens, but I think if they'd both seen the J-T-9 flop, all the chips may well have gone in anyway.

Now we are on the final level of the night. 63 players left on 7 tables. Blinds are now 400/800 with a 100 ante. 31,400 is the average stack.

I think he's only played about one Season of EPT's. He's a kid, & the boy will learn fast.
