Lindgren in Trouble

Gregory Kaplan was in the hijack and raised all in preflop for 1.125 million, which was met with an over-the-top all-in reraise to 1.77 milliom by Erick Lindgren on the button. The rest of the field got out of the way and the cards were turned up.

Showdown
Lindgren: {8-Spades}{8-Clubs}
Kaplan: {9-Hearts}{10-Hearts}

Lindgren was ahead preflop, but that quickly changed on the flop, which came down {K-Hearts}{9-Spades}{9-Clubs}. Neither the {4-Hearts} turn nor the {3-Spades} river helped Lindgren and he was knocked down to just 645,000.
