Lindgren Spikes Salvation

Level 20 : 6,000/12,000, 2,000 ante
Erick Lindgren
Erick Lindgren

Erick Lindgren had 266,000 chips left, and he got them all in before the flop with {10-Diamonds} {10-Hearts}. That's not necessarily a bad thing, but it is when a guy like Julian Stuer looks you up with a covering stack and {A-Spades} {A-Hearts}.

Things got better quickly for E-Dog, though, as the {9-Clubs} {J-Spades} {10-Spades} flop pulled him into a big lead with a set of tens. The {7-Spades} turn was a good sweat, though, giving Stuer the nut-flush draw and a straight draw for chop outs, too. The river was the {9-Spades}, though, the wrong kind of flush card. It gives Lindgren the full house, doubling him up to about 550,000.
