Red Rock Casino Event Sees Lindgren Champ

By launchpoker, Jun 27, 2006

When the final two pros faced off at the Red Rock Casino for the FullTiltPoker.net Pro Showdown it was Erick "E-Dog" Lindgren and Mike "The Mouth" Matusow in a four hour effort to get heads up. Once the two were the only ones in contention for the first place spot, it only took one hour to decide who the winner would be, and that was Erick Lindgren. With $600,000 for the win, Lindgren showed who was the boss at the June 22 event.



In addition to Matusow five other Team Full Tilt members bit the dust: Chris Ferguson, John Juanda, Erik Seidel, Clonie Gowen and Phil Ivey, each have paid $120,000 to play. Matusow took home $280,000 for his second place finish, and Gowen picked up her buy in for third.
