Lindop Crashes Out

Level 6 : 300/600, 75 ante

Alex Lindop had been nursing a short stack for a while, shoving all-in in the right spots to steal the blinds and antes. He was keeping alive but he knew his hopes were dwindling.

The table chat revealed that the other players knew it too. A beer on the table beside Lindop provoked some friendly teasing from Christopher Day on his right about “Beer goggles.”

When Lindop’s latest shove was called by Elior Sion he exclaimed “Uh oh.” But he wasn’t in as bad shape as he feared.

Lindop’s {Q-Spades}{j-Diamonds} was up against Sion’s {8-Spades}{8-Diamonds}

The board ran out {9-Spades}{10-Clubs}{3-Clubs}{5-Spades}{10-Diamonds} and Lindop was busted.

When asked if he was going to rebuy he picked up his beer and replied, “No I don’t think so. It’s a bit late.”

Never mind Alex, head to the bar, you deserve it.
