The 
flop gave Lindgren a backdoor straight draw, and the 
kept that draw alive. Lindgren could make a straight with an eight or a king on the river - or win with a simple pair - but the 
bricked off on the river.
"Well," Lindgren said as he walked to the rail to embrace his wife. "That wasn't fun."
He'll earn $129,192 for his fifth-place finish, while Silver is up to 2.4 million chips.
