Lindgren Triumphant at the FullTiltPoker.net Pro Showdown

It took nearly four hours for Erick �E-Dog� Lindgren and Mike �The Mouth� Matusow to get heads up at the FullTiltPoker.Net Pro Showdown, but just one hand for Lindgren to claim the victory and the $600,000 first-place prize.

The invitational poker tournament took place in Las Vegas at Red Rock Casino on June 22 and was broadcast live on FOX Sports Network.

Lindgren and Matusow outlasted five other Team Full Tilt members � Phil Ivey, Chris Ferguson, John Juanda, Erik Seidel, and Clonie Gowen � who each paid $120,000 to enter.

�E-Dog� and �The Mouth� went head-to-head after Lindgren knocked Clonie Gowen out of the tournament. On their first hand of heads-up play, Matusow moved all in after picking up Ace-Jack against Lindgren�s Ace-King. Matusow couldn�t improve, and Lindgren walked away from the table with the title and a $600,000 cheque.

Matusow was awarded $280,000 for second place, while Gowen recouped her $120,000 buy-in for her third-place finish.

�It was a privilege to be able to call the action live as these great pros all brought their �A� games to the table,� said Team Full Tilt member Howard Lederer. �Erick Lindgren played beautifully and is a deserving champion.�
