Linderman Fades a Draw

Barry Schultz opened to 1,050 under the gun and got three callers. On the flop, action checked to Eric Linderman, who bet 2,650 in the hijack. The player on the button shoved all in, and Linderman called after the others folded.

Linderman was fading queens and clubs, and he added fours and nines to that long list of outs as the turn gave his opponent a straight draw. The improved the player to only a lower pair though, and Linderman collected the pot.

After the hand, Linderman identified himself as the father of Christina Lindley, who was one of many women to recently come close to being the first female WPT champ when she busted fifth at an event in Paris in October 2013.
