Pescatori Flushes Lindgren Out

Kevin Taylor

We just caught a huge pot between Max Pescatori and Erick Lindgren that has given Pescatori the chip lead. The two were in the hand with two other players, and they all took a flop of {6-Diamonds} {2-Hearts} {10-Diamonds} . Lindgren get 4,500, and Pescatori made it 16,000 to go. The other two players folded, and then Lindgren raised pot, essentially going all in. Pescatori went all in, and the players tabled their cards.

Lindgren: {7-Hearts} {6-Hearts} {6-Clubs} {5-Diamonds}
Pescatori: {8-Diamonds} {a-Clubs} {a-Diamonds} {10-Clubs}

Lindgren had flopped middle set, and Pescatori was drawing to an ace or a diamond. He didn't get it on the turn, as it came the {j-Clubs} , but the {q-Diamonds} spiked the river, shipping a huge pot over to Pescatori and knocking Lindgren out of the tournament.
