, the nut low and the second-nut high. Lindgren managed to scoop the very next pot to climb to 1,200 but was eliminated shortly thereafter. At least he left the Brasilia Room smiling and laughing.

Meanwhile, Paul Darden was also in the Omaha Hi/Lo round in a three-way pot against Al Barbieri and one other player. "Sugar Bear" Barbieri led the betting all the way to the river, where he folded to Darden's all-in bet on a board of {10-Hearts}

. Darden is up to 7,900.
