"Arm's Length!"

Level 5 : 500/1,000, 0 ante

We were passing by Erick Lindgren's table as the dealer was passing out cards. Lindgren was under the gun, but his chair was empty. The dealer reached to muck his cards, but as soon as he began bring them in, Lindgren shouted, "I'm here."

He quickly stood in his spot and gave the dealer some puppy eyes in the vain attempt to get his cards back. "Arm's length," Lindgren explained, meaning he should get his hand back since he was within arm's length of the cards. The dealer gave him a look as if to say, "C'mon, man," before pulling the cards into the muck.

Lindgren smiled as the rest of the table chimed in as to whether or not he should have received his cards back. The general consensus was negative, suggesting his table mates believe E-Dawg is too dangerous with cards.
