Lindgren Has His Hand in a Big Pot

Erick Lindgren was involved in one of the most complicated hands we've seen yet today.

After the action got capped five ways preflop, the table saw a flop of {4-Spades}{5-Clubs}{7-Spades}. Action checked to the cutoff, who bet and Lindgren raised from the button. Everyone called and the cutoff raised all in. Everyone called again.

The turn brought the {6-Hearts} and more betting. One player folded before the river, which brought the {3-Clubs}. Action folded to Lindgren who bet, and the remaining players called.

When hands were turned over, Lindgren showed {A-Hearts}{2-Hearts}{7-Hearts}{K-Spades} for the nut low, which gave him half of the side pot and a quarter of the main. The hand brought his chip count to more than 14,500.
