Erick LindgrenCold 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.
