Erick Lindgren wins first WSOP bracelet

Poker pro Erick Lindgren took his first World Series of Poker (WSOP) bracelet in the $5,000 (£2,500) Mixed Hold'em event.

The bracelet was one of the few notable prizes the star had failed to win, with over $6 million in tournament winnings, 14 WSOP money finishes and two World Poker Tour championships to his name.

The final table came down to Lindgren and Justin Bonomo, who looked to be the favourite as chip leader during the first half of the hour-long heads-up play.

However, it was Lindgren who prevailed and he now takes home the $374,505 prize money after hitting a straight on the turn in the final hand.

Other big names who are still looking to win their first WSOP bracelet include Gus Hansen, Andy Bloch and Patrik Antonious comma who has taken over $2.2 million in tournament winnings to date.
