6. Erick Lindgren – $82,303
Big Hands:
Cold Deck Sends Lindgren Out In Sixth
Bruno Launais raised to 90,000 from under-the-gun and Erick Lindgren three-bet to 260,000. Men Nguyen then made a cold four-bet all-in for 1,500,000. Launais got out of the way and then Lindgren went into the tank.
“I could always get lucky,” said Lindgren after a minute of thought.
“I’ll make you a deal,” Nguyen said. “If you fold and show, I’ll show.”
Lindgren thought a for a little longer before letting out a sigh and calling. Lindgren showed pocket queens and was in bad shape against Nguyen’s pocket Kings.
Lindgren couldn’t find a queen on the board and that made him the first elimination at this final table. He’ll take home $82,303 for his finish.
The final two tables of event no. 32 ($5,000 no limit hold’em six-handed) will return at 3 p.m. to battle down to a champion.
