A player in early position opened to 70,000 and was called by the player on the button. Jerry Van Strydonck three-bet from the small blind and Erick Lindgren moved all in from the big blind. Action folded back around to Van Strydonck who made the call.

Van Strydonck: {A-Spades}{K-Hearts}
Lindgren: {A-Clubs}{A-Diamonds}

The flop came {7-Spades}{Q-Clubs}{3-Spades} and Lindgren retained his lead. An interesting event happened on the turn when the {J-Spades} fell, giving Van Strydonck any spade or ten as an out going to the river. Fortunately for Lindgren, the "{8-Diamonds} rivered and he was able to score a double up.

"At least I got a sweat," Van Strydonck said with a smile as the chips were being pushed Lindgren's way.
