Erick Lindgren
 One of poker's original "Young Guns," Erick Lindgren is now part of a player faction settling into adulthood at the tournament tables. After nearly 10 years as a successful professional player, Lindgren is a poker veteran and one of the most recognizable names in the game. "He is an extremely good-natured and generous person who's always up for anything," writes Negreanu of Lindgren in a foreword to his 2005 book, Making the Final Table. "We have endured many of the ups and downs of living the poker life through our 20s, but we are able to keep each other grounded. Of course, we still know how to celebrate when all of the hard work pays off with a tournament win."
There's no doubt that Lindgren knows how to have a good time with his friends. He says he doesn't spend money on much other than gambling, but admits to celebratory five-figure bar tabs and a bachelor pad that includes six plasma televisions, a 65-inch screen and two dual monitors for watching sports. And, in a throwback to his days as a kid in rural California, Lindgren still gets his kicks from playing sports when he takes a break from the poker table. |
