Lindgren Eliminates Lederer; Poker Career Safe

Howard Lederer
Howard Lederer
Erick Lindgren put Howard Lederer all in on a {3-Diamonds} {9-Diamonds} {8-Spades} flop and Lederer made the call for all of his chips holding {3-Spades} {6-Spades}; Lindgren tabled {9-Clubs} {10-Clubs} for top pair.

The turn and river filled out {2-Diamonds}, {J-Clubs} and Lindgren's single pair of nines were good enough to send The Professor packing. Lindgren will play the winner of the Johnny Chan v. Eli Elezra match.
