Lindgren's Kings Cracked

Erick Lindgren limped from under the gun and a player in middle position went all in for his last 3,175. A late-position player flat-called this raise, and the action folded back around to Lindgren, who sized up the situation before plonking four white 5,000 denomination chips into the middle to declare another raise. With one player all in, Lindgren's isolation play worked as the late-position player was forced to fold and the cards were tabled:

Lindgren: {K-Spades}{K-Diamonds}
Opponent: {A-Diamonds}{J-Hearts}

The board was looking good for Lindgren when it arrived {Q-Clubs}{8-Diamonds}{8-Hearts}{6-Diamonds}, but unfortunately for him the {A-Clubs} on the river gave his opponent the hand and a much-needed triple-up.

Lindgren drops back to about the average chip stack with close to 27,000 in chips.
