Erick Lindgren Hits River To Score Huge Double Up

[user272102]

Level 9 : 400/800, 0 ante

We get to the table with the board showing and the chips started flying between Erick Lindgren and his opponent in Seat 9. Lindgren snap-called his opponent's all in and the hands were turned over:

Lindgren: for kings full of nines
Opponent: for the same hand, kings full of nines

A queen or ten would give the pot to his opponent and eliminate Lindgren in the process. Lindgren could take the whole pot only with an ace on the river. He would get precisely that with the and the player in Seat 9 threw his hands up in disgust while a relieved Lindgren could exhale and smile. Lindgren who had been down to 3,000 in chips earlier in the day was now stacking 88,000 in chips.
