Final Table Analysis: Hands #61-70

No repeat victory for Lindgren - maybe he shouldn't have changed his shirt at the dinner break?
No repeat victory for Lindgren - maybe he shouldn't have changed his shirt at the dinner break?
Probably the biggest news of the tournament was the sixth place finish of Erick Lindgren. He had won last year's event and end up being the bubble boy as he busted out in 6th place. Michael Sampoerna took out Lindgren and jumped into the chiplead.
