I told ‘m: “ok, why in Gods name would Erick be better — he’s under-accomplished in anything except golf compared to Daniel”.

My friend’s point: “Erick is the man”.

Good point. When I brought up the reading capabilities — my friend tackled that by saying: “if you yell other peoeples hands out loud 50% of the hands, you’re about to strike lucky”.

I guess he has a point right there — but still. ERICK LINDGREN? YOUGOTTOBEKIDDINGME!! :D

Still — what a laydown, I don’t think I could have made it… ;)

I’m sure Erick Lindgren and Phil Ivey were happy to miss this flop hehe :)
