Lindgren Watches out for his Heart

Erick Lindgren walked over to Media Row and struck up a converation with Nolan Dalla. "You heard about Phil Ivey's 1.8 to 1," Dalla said. "Yeah -- I won't bet against Ivey," said Lindgren. "Besides, I'd be sweating him in every event. It's not good for my heart!"

Hand #27: Erick Lindgren

Howard Lederer has the button. Andrew Robl raised to 20,000. Erick Lindgren called. The flop was {Q-Clubs}{8-Hearts}{10-Clubs}. Andrew checked and Lindgren checked. The turn was the {4-Clubs}. Robl checked. Lindgren checked. The river was {5-Hearts}. Robl checked. Lindgren bet 43,000. Robl folded.

Hand #30: Justin Bonomo

All folded to Pat Pezzin on the button, who raised to 24,000. Williams, in the small blind, took his time before counting out his reraise to 75,000. Bonomo then reraised all in from the big blind. Pezzin folded.

Williams had a big decision to make. He sat hunched over his chips for several minutes. He looked over at Bonomo's chips. He had Bonomo covered, but would be risking a high percentage of his chips should he make the call.

Finally, Williams decided to pick another battle and folded.

No Limit Excitement

After several rapid-fire hands in the limit round, the action has slowed considerably here in the no-limit half of Level 18, as several players have been forced to make tourney life-or-death decisions.

Uh oh . . . another big one brewing . . . stay tuned . . .
