Erik Lindgren Profile
This man was born to gamble and will do anything it takes to win a bet. He won a $350,000 bet from Gavin Smith, Phil Ivey and others that included him having to play four rounds of golf from sunrise to sunset, carry his own bags, and shoot under 100 in 106 degree whether. He was born in 1976 and is considered one of the original “Young Guns” of poker. He started playing poker in Junior college and learned a lot about the game through his job as a dealer at his local casino.

Erik Lindgren was just a young kid hoping that he could make it big one day in professional sports, but his physical limits and a job at the casino as a dealer changed all that. He is now a multi-million dollar professional poker playing living in L.A. that is sponsored by Full Tilt Poker. He is great friends with fellow professional poker player Daniel Negreanu (who has nothing but good things to say about Erik Lindgren in his Poker books) and the two celebrate the good times and ground each other in the bad ones.
