Asher Conniff opened to 12,000 from early position which saw Erick Lindgren defend the big blind.

The flop came out  8s 7h 2h and Lindgren check-called a bet of 15,000 from Conniff.

The turn of  3c saw Lindgren check once more and Conniff sized up to 50,000 and Lindgren called once more.

The river  5s saw Lindgren check a third time and bet 105,000 chips, leaving himself just 10,000 behind. Lindgren went into the tank, pondering his decision. After a bit he called and Coniff turned over  10d 9d for just a ten-high, while Lindgren turned over  6h 3h for a pair of threes and a missed flush draw. It was good and Lindgren took the overall tournament chip lead, while Coniff was left with less than two big blinds.

Erick Lindgren - 710,000

Asher Coniff - 10,000
