One of the most recognizable names and faces in poker, Erick Lindgren crossed his name off the “Best Player To Never Win a Bracelet” list earlier this month when he won the $5,000 Mixed Hold’em event. This is the third final table for “E-Dog” at this year’s World Series and should he finish fifth or better today Lindgren would take over the lead in the race for World Series Player of the Year. Which would nicely bookend the World Poker Tour Player of the Year award he won in 2004. The Las Vegas resident comes into play today as the chip leader.
