Lindgren Lands on Lucky Sevens

Level 10 : 400/800, 100 ante
Erick Lindgren in Day 1 Action
Erick Lindgren in Day 1 Action

After Dan Kelly opened for 1,600 for the second time in three hands, Erick Lindgren's {A-Diamonds}{7-Diamonds} must have looked like the right hand with which to test the young wunderkind's mettle. Lindgren three-bet shoved for his last 5,700, and when the action folded around to Kelly, he didn't hesitate before making the call with {A-Hearts}{J-Clubs}.

Lindgren smiled in resignation, telling Kelly "I waited until you had a hand, I'm an idiot," while he awaited the flop's arrival.

When the {3-Clubs}{10-Diamonds}{5-Hearts} hit the board, Lindgren had found a dry well, and he would need to catch lucky to keep his chips.

The {2-Clubs} on the turn provided additional chop outs to the wheel straight, as both players would play their ace, but instead of the four players at the table called for, the {7-Clubs} fell in its place.

With that, Lindgren had made a pair and it was good enough for the win. Kelly's stack absorbed a slight dent, something tells us a few more opens to 1,600 will have him stacking again in no time.
