Erick Lindgren hasn't had much luck so far today. He started out with having Patrik Antonius to his left, and while he's fine to look at, he's not the best person to be out of position against. After their table broke, he was moved over to the orange section, where he has been hovering around 20,000 all day. However, he just won a nice pot to get back over his starting stack.
Lindgren raised on the button to 600, and the small blind came back with a raise to 2,000. Lindgren made the call, and together they saw a flop of . The small blind took little time before firing out one orange chip, a 5,000 bet. Lindgren thought for about 10 seconds before chucking in the call. The hit the turn, and after reaching for his chips looking like he would bet, the small blind checked. Lindgren thought for a few seconds and decided it was his turn to bet 5,000. His opponent looked back at his hand a couple of times, then shook his head and tossed in his cards. Lindgren collected the pot, upping his stack to 35,000.
