5 Best Pros Without a WSOP Bracelet: #2 Erick Lindgren

Erick “E-Dog” Lindgren’s poker career kicked into high gear in 2002 when he won his first major poker tournament at the Bellagio. Less than a year later he won his first World Poker Tour Event. He followed that up by winning the World Poker Tour Party Poker Million ruise, where he pocketed a cool one million dollar pay day.

Lindgren had his best month as a pro to start out 2005. EDog finished 2nd at the World Series of Poker Circuit Event in Atlantic City in January of 2005. The following month he made the final table and finished in 5th place at the prestigious World Poker Tour LA Poker Classic. The following week Erick won the Professional Poker Tour event in Los Angeles.

Erick must really love January because in 2006 he started out the year by making another WPT final table at the Borgata Winter Poker Open where he finished 3rd. In June 2006, Lindgren took home the 600k first place prize in the Full Tilt Poker Pro Showdown event where he dueld Mike “the mouth” Matusow, Clonie “Ms. Oklahoma” Gowen, Phil Ivey, John Juanda, Erik Seidel, and Chris Ferguson.

As of the beginning of this year EDog’s total winnings exceed $5,500,000.
