Lindgren Leaves Us

Level 6 : 150/300, 25 ante
Erick Lindgren
Erick Lindgren

Erick Lindgren has joined the group of more than 200 runners who have thus far hit the rail.

In his final hand, a player in the hijack opened for 600, then Lindgren shoved all in from the button for 6,000. It folded to the big blind who called Lindgren's shove, and the original raiser got out.

Lindgren tabled {10-Clubs}{10-Hearts} and his opponent {A-Clubs}{K-Clubs}. The flop came {10-Diamonds}{8-Diamonds}{Q-Clubs}, giving Lindgren a set and hopes for a saving double-up. But the turn was the {J-Diamonds}, filling his opponent's gutshot to Broadway. The river was the {5-Spades}, and Lindgren had been eliminated.
