Lindgren Eliminated in 43rd Place
A short-stacked Erick Lindgren moved all in from the hijack for around 640,000 and received a call from Steve Brecher in the big blind.
Showdown
Lindgren:
Brecher:
It was a tough spot for Lindgren as his small pocket pair was dominated by that of Brecher. The flop gave Lindgren some extra outs as any five would give him a straight, but the turn wasn't what he needed. With one card to come, Lindgren's 2011 Main Event came down to needing either a four or five on the river.
Unfortunatley for Lindgren, and his fans the world over, the bricked and he was eliminated in 43rd place.
