Just a few minutes ago, American poker pro Erick Lindgren (a well-known figure from the classic televised cash game High Stakes Poker) took down Event #32: No-Limit Hold'em (Six Handed) after a very interesting heads-up against Lee Markholt, who was looking to win his first bracelet.
Lindgren brought a massive lead to heads-up play, but Markholt gave him a good fight. It didn't take long before Markholt doubled up with a flopped straight vs KK of Lindgren. After that he went on a winning streak to bring the stacks to about even. However, Lindgren never let go of the lead and proved too strong for Markholt who received $374,960 for finishing runner-up after losing several big pots. Lindgren received $606,317 in prize money and now has 2 WSOP bracelets under his belt!
Noah Schwartz ($1,209,326 in WPT earnings) will bring more than 6 million chips to the final table of the WPT bestbet Jacksonville Main Event! He took the lead in the last few minutes of Day 3 when he doubled up through the previous chip leader Hans Winzeler with AK vs AQ. Schwartz enters the final table tonight with more than 43% of the chips in play. Besides Schwartz, Lee Markholt ($1,376,164 in WPT earnings) will be going for his second WPT title, so it will be a very thrilling final table to watch.
