Lindgren Sneaks One Through

A player in middle position opened for 17,000 and was called by the button. The small blind folded and Erick Lindgren thought for a bit before re-raising to 63,000 total from the big. The original raiser flatted and the button folded.

The flop came {6-Diamonds}{5-Diamonds}{7-Diamonds} and Lindgren pushed out a 70,000 bet. His opponent thought for a bit, but landed on a fold.

"You scared me for a second," Lindgren said. He then tabled {3-Clubs}{8-Hearts}.

"That was a great flop for the eight-three," Lindgren added with a grin.

Thanks to that hand, Lindgren is now up to 440,000.
