Lucky Sevens for Lindgren

Action folded to Erick Lindgren in the hijack and he put in a raise to 180,000, which was immediately three-bet to 405,000 by Kyle Johnson in the cutoff. The button and blinds got out of the way, and Lindgren moved all in for 855,000 more. Johnson called and the cards were turned up:

Showdown
Johnson: {A-Clubs}{Q-Spades}
Lindgren: {7-Clubs}{7-Diamonds}

It was a flip for Lindgren's Main Event life, one that came up in his favor as the board ran out {3-Spades}{J-Hearts}{J-Spades}{J-Clubs}{K-Hearts}. Lindgren's sevens held and he doubled to 2.72 million.
