Aces Cracked for Lindgren

[user46392]

There has been a long, sad line of players who've had their aces busted in today's tournament, and Erick Lindgren is down to 8,000 after joining the list.

To be fair, he seemed to have just limped in preflop, but the {8-Spades}

{8-Spades}

{2-Clubs}

{8-Diamonds}

looked harmless enough so he bet, getting one caller. Come the {K-Spades}

{K-Spades}

turn, his caller bet out from the big blind and Lindgren raised; the big blind reraised and Lindgren flatted.

Both players checked the {9-Spades}

{9-Spades}

river and Lindgren flipped his {A-Clubs}

{A-Clubs}

{A-Hearts}

-- only to discover that he was losing to his opponent's {10-Clubs}

{10-Clubs}

{8-Hearts}

.
