Erick Lindgren Eliminated

donpeters

Vinny Pahuja limped in from early-middle position before Erick Lindgren raised to 2,500 from the hijack seat. The big blind, Craig Ivey, made the call and then Pahuja called as well.

The flop came down {9-Clubs}

and Ivey led out for a bet of 6,000. Pahuja folded and action was now back on Lindgren. He splashed the rest of his chips into the pot for a total all-in bet of 17,500. Ivey made the call.

When the hands were revealed, Ivey showed {J-Diamonds}

. Lindgren tabled a better overpair with {Q-Diamonds}

. The ESPN cameras were on hand to catch the action and the dealer paused before the turn while the film crew got everything set up nicely.

The turn was then dealt and the {7-Clubs}

hit the felt. The look on Lindgren's face wasn't too pleasing. He now knew his opponent could make a straight as well as hit a jack.

Another pause for the cameras and then the dealer dealt the river. The river was the {J-Hearts}

to put Ivey in the lead and with no more cards to come, that would be the end of Lindgren's tournament. He got it in good, but just couldn't hold on. Lindgren grabbed his bag and headed to the exit.
