Erick Lindgren (from Event #3)
Erick Lindgren (from Event #3)

Tim West entered the pot with a raise to 1,200 only to have Erick Lindgren three-bet the cutoff to 3,700.

The small blind smooth-called as West mucked before the dealer dropped a {J-Hearts}{6-Hearts}{5-Clubs} flop. Lindgren continued for 4,200 with his opponent making the call as the {3-Diamonds} landed on the turn.

Faced with another check, Lindgren pushed out a 9,500-chip bet which was called by the small blind as the dealer delivered the {J-Diamonds} on the river.

The small blind tapped the table once more before Lindgren cut out a bet amounting to 15,500. His opponent went deep into the tank before making the call, only to muck at the sight of Lindgren's {A-Diamonds}{J-Spades} as the recently wed pro moves to over 50,000 in chips.
