Exit Erick, Enter Erica

Table 374 just saw a flurry of action in a short sequence of hands that saw three players eliminated — Dermott Blain, Erick Lindgren, and last year's winner of this event, Naoya Kihara.

Just moments after Lindgren was knocked out, his wife, Erica Schoenberg was moved to the very same table, taking the seat vacated by of one of the other eliminated players. Mixed feelings for Schoenberg, apparently, who didn't like hearing of Lindgren's knockout but didn't mind avoiding having to play against him.
