Lindgren's Taking Charge
Over on table 16, our PokerNews reporter picked up the action between Joseph Cheong, an opponent in middle position and Erick Lindgren on a flop that read 
. Cheong and the middle position checked to Lindgren who opened for 2,000; Cheong called, but the middle position player check-raised to 11,000 total.
Lindgren quickly re-potted it, forcing Cheong out of the way and putting the middle position player all-in before the cards were tabled:
Lindgren: 
Middle Position: 
Despite the middle position player having flopped top pair and still having a plethora of outs, the poker gods smiled upon Lindgren and improved his hand to two pair after the turn and river ran out 
, 
. And with that, another one bites the dust.
