Lindgren Tries to Steal the Hardest Blinds in the World

Level 4

Limit Hold'em

Fresh off his runner-up finish in the World Poker Tour $25,000 Championship, Erick Lindgren is here at the Rio looking to capture his second WSOP bracelet.

In a recent hand of limit hold'em, Lindgren raised from the button and Tuan Le defended from the small blind. The {3-Hearts}{8-Hearts}{6-Spades} flop saw Le bet 200, Lindgren pop it to 400 and Le call, bringing about the {A-Spades} turn. Lindgren proceeded to call a bet of 400 but then folded when Le bet again on the {Q-Clubs} river.

"You're trying to steal the hardest blinds in the world," someone at the table told Lindgren, who smiled at the joke. Despite losing that hand, Lindgren is still above the starting stack and sitting with 11,500.
