Erick Lindgren
31-year old Erick Lindgren is one of the winningest tournament players at today's final table, with over $6 million in career tournament earnings. He earned his first WSOP gold bracelet just a few weeks ago in the $5,000 Mixed Hold'em (Limit / No-Limit) event and has several WPT titles to his name. He is one of the name members of Team Full Tilt, a team of 11 poker professionals that are the primary owners and sponsors of online poker site Full Tilt Poker.

Lindgren is widely known for accepting a $350,000 prop bet at the 2007 World Series of Poker from Gavin Smith, Phil Ivey and a syndicate of other people. To win the bet, Erick had to play four consecutive rounds of golf at Las Vegas' "Bear's Best" golf course between sunrise and sunset. He had to carry his own bags and shoot under 100 in each of the four rounds. Temperatures reached 106 degrees during the height of the day, but Lindgren won the bet. He is our chip leader entering the final table and in prime position to win his second WSOP gold bracelet in as many weeks.
