Erick Lindgren Wins his First WSOP Bracelet
Congratulations to Erick Lindgren for joining the ranks of the poker elite and winning his first World Series of Poker bracelet. Although the lack of a bracelet did not signify a lack of quality play on Lindgren’s part, winning the bracelet secures his place in history as one of today’s top poker pros.
Lindgren bested 331 other players, including bracelet-winner Howard Lederer, in the 2008 WSOP Event #4, a $5,000 buy-in Mixed Hold’em event. According to the live updates posted on the WSOP site:
“When heads up began, Justin “ZeeJustin” Bonomo had a 3-to-2 chip advantage over Lindgren. After holding steady through the initial no-limit round of play, Lindgren began taking sizable pots off of Bonomo in the limit round. Then, in the 40th hand of heads up, Lindgren finally claimed the last of Bonomo’s chips and the bracelet was his.”
Congratulations E-Dog!
