For Chriss' Sake

Before the flop, Neil Chriss raised to 7,500, Erick Lindgren reraised to 24,000, and Chriss made the call.

The flop came {2-Spades}{5-Clubs}{5-Spades}. Chriss checked, Lindgren bet 28,000, Chriss check-raised all in for 115,000, and Lindgren made the call. Chriss showed {3-Diamonds}{3-Clubs} for two pair, and Lindgren tabled {A-Clubs}{5-Diamonds} for trips. The turn was the {K-Clubs}, and Chriss was in dire straits. But the {3-Hearts} popped out on the river, giving Chriss the hand and the 290,000-chip pot.

After that hit, Lindgren now has 42,000.
