Lindgren's Aces Get Cracked and He's Out

Off to the rail for Lindgren
Off to the rail for Lindgren
Barry Greenstein raised to 13,000 from middle position and Erick Lindgren reraised from the small blind to 31,000. Greenstein made the call.

The flop came down {8-Clubs} {6-Clubs} {3-Hearts} and Lindgren fired 48,000. Greenstein moved all in and Lindgren quickly called. The hands were revealed and Lindgren saw the bad news with his {A-Hearts} {A-Diamonds} being behind the set of sixes for Greenstein.

When the money went in, Lindgren had 174,000 chips, making this the biggest pot of the tournament so far. Lindgren would need to smack an ace to stay in the tournament.

The turn card was the {J-Diamonds} and Greenstein stayed in the lead.

"What's Barry's book called?" questioned Gus Hansen. Greenstein's book is titled Ace On the River... just what Lindgren would need to stay alive.

The river card couldn't provide the help Lindgren needed when the {3-Spades} fell, improving Greenstein to a full house. Lindgren was sent to the rail and Greenstein bumped himself to the chip lead and 430,000 chips.
