On Sunday, February 10, 2008 Erik Lindgren hosted FTOPS 7 Event #9 - $322 buy in - No Limit Holdem. The field consisted of 5637 players and lasted 11 hours. After getting down to the last 9 players, Lindgren held a chip lead coming into the final table with a third of the total chips in play. He managed to knock out the first three players at the table. After an hour of all-in confrontations, Lindgren and a player named “Kochan” found themselves heads up with roughly equal stacks. Lindgren quickly gained a 7 to 1 lead when he flopped trip 6’s and Kochan flopped a pair of Queens. In a total of four hands, the tournament was finally over when Lindgren’s pocket jacks cracked Kochan’s pocket queens with a runner-runner flush. Erik Lindgren took home $291,000 for his efforts and became the first Full Tilt sponsored pro and event host to take down an FTOPS event.
