Lindgren Gets It in with a Set

Level 8 : 300/600, 0 ante

On a flop of {5-}{4-}{10-}, Erick Lindgren checked from the big blind and allowed an opponent in middle position to bet 5,100. Another player called from the cutoff, and action was back on Lindgren. E-Dog quickly raised pot, which was enough to put him all in for 17,900 more. The middle-position player folded, but the cutoff called of for 12,500.

Lindgren: {5-Hearts}{5-Diamonds}{A-Spades}{7-Diamonds}
Cutoff: {A-Hearts}{6-Spades}{3-Diamonds}{8-Hearts}

Lindgren was ahead with a set of fives, but the cutoff had a draw to the low as well as an open-ended straight draw. The {9-Hearts} changed nothing, but the {3-Spades} river gave the cutoff a low for half the pot.

Lindgren is sitting with around 29,000.
