Eric Lindgren Eliminated in 5th Place ($37,901)
No-Limit 5-Card Draw High
Julio Belluscio limped in early position, and Federico Quevedo followed suit to his immediate left.
Benny Glaser then raised the pot to 400,000, and Erick Lindgren, having been forced to commit all but 10,000 of his remaining chips to the big blind and ante, called off his remaining stack. Belluscio and Quevedo called as well, creating a three-way side-pot.
Lindgren drew three, while the other three players each drew one.
It was checked around, and the cards were on their backs.
Erick Lindgren: 5♠5♥3♣K♥/Xx
Julio Belluscio: 10♥10♣Q♣4♣5♠
Federico Quevedo: Q♠J♠10♠9♠Xx
Benny Glaser: A♠A♣9♦9♣8♣
Glaser was in the lead with two pair, aces and nines, with Lindgren needing to draw a third five in order to stay alive.
However, he would roll over the 7♦ and head to the payout desk.
