Erick Lindgren

Billy "The Croc" Argyros opened with a raise from the hijack to 5,200, with Erick Lindgren the lone caller in the cutoff.

They saw a flop of {A-Spades}

{A-Spades}

{Q-Spades}

{2-Spades}

and both players checked. The turn brought the {8-Spades}

{8-Spades}

, and Argyros slid out 9,000 into the middle. Lindgren made the call.

The river was the {10-Spades}

{10-Spades}

to complete the monotone board. Argyros checked and Lindgren checked behind.

"Two pair?" said a hopeful Croc, but Lindgren flipped {6-Spades}

{6-Spades}

{5-Spades}

{5-Clubs}

{7-Clubs}

for a flush to take it down.

Lindgren is well placed with 165,000 chips while Argyros is left with just 24,000.
