Lindgren Sends One Home

Erick Lindgren
Erick Lindgren

Erick Lindgren made it 4,000 to go from the cutoff only to have the player on the button move all in for his last 61,000. Action folded back around to Lindgren who instantly called by dropping a stack of orange t5,000 chips in the middle.

Lindgren: {A-Diamonds}{K-Diamonds}
Opponent: {A-Hearts}{6-Hearts}

The players were made to wait for about a minute before the ESPN camera crew came over to tape the action. The dealer pounded the table and produced {7-Spades}{K-Hearts}{K-Clubs}.

"Ooh," said Rob Perelman from across the table. "It's gonna be tough to get out of this one."

The {2-Spades} came on fourth street and Lindgren's opponent was drawing dead. The board completed with the {8-Spades} and Lindgren was able to reduce the field by one and increase his stack fo 178,000.
