E-Dog's Lucky Miss

The player on the button opened the action pre-flop with a raise to 900 and Erick Lindgren re-popped it from the small blind making it 3,400 to go. Many expected the pot to be over with right there, however the player in the big blind flat-called Lindgren's reraise. The button stepped aside and the two blinds took a flop of {8-Spades}{2-Diamonds}{3-Clubs}.

Lindgren checked and the big blind fired a large bet. Before the dealer could count out what appeared to be a bet of around 8,000 in chips, Lindgren had tossed his cards into the muck.

The big blind generously flashed {A-Diamonds}{A-Hearts} much to the delight of Lindgren who commented, "That was a good flop to miss...I had A-K!"

Lindgren is still sitting with an above-average stack of around 26,500 in chips.
