Lindgren Shows Min-Raise Bluff
Level 8
: Blinds 800/1,600, 1,600 ante
Erick Lindgren limped in from the hijack and Ken Aldridge followed suit in the cutoff. Small blind Joao Vieira then raised to 8,000, forcing out John Hennigan in the big blind.
Lindgren tossed in a call before Aldridge went out of the way. On the subsequent K♣Q♠J♥ flop, Vieira continued for 7,500 before Lindgren raised to 15,000.
Vieira mucked his cards and Lindgren showed 8♣5♣4♣3♥2♥ for pure air.
