Most people who watched Erick Lindgren on ESPN's WSOP coverage probably thought "hmmm, he seems like a really nice guy." Sorry, but that's not exactly true. Turns out Erick "sweet little puppy" Lindgren is actually a really, really, really nice guy.
Lindgren will be hosting a charity poker event on FullTilt on December 3rd for the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society/Southern Nevada in honor of the late Mindy Trinidad (check the private tab, password is charity).
Trinidad made the final table at the 2007 WSOP Ladies Event. However, the wife and mother of two lost her battle against Leukemia last month. She was just diagnosed two months before.
My heart goes out to the Trinidad family. And special thanks to Lisa Wheeler for sending the info and for all the other reminders of how grateful we should be.
Not sure if you saw this or not, but there will be a live charity tournament in her memory also on December 12th at the Hard Rock. I’ll be out there for the blogger gathering and plan to play.
