Erick Lindgren has a great run as he makes a return to Hustler Casino Live
Erick “E-Dog” Lindgren, a familiar face from the poker boom era, secured a seat in the highly anticipated Million Dollar Game at Hustler Casino Live after winning one of the largest satellite tournaments ever held. Lindgren topped a $25,000 buy-in event to earn his place at the table, where some of poker’s biggest names will clash over the coming days.
The Hustler Casino Live team returned their Million Dollar Game last week, promising high-stakes action and the chance for record-breaking pots. The event’s satellite featured an unusual, top-heavy payout structure where only the winner would claim the prize: a seat worth a million dollars.
Lindgren’s victory is a notable moment, considering his history in the poker world. During the mid-2000s, he was one of the most recognized players, a regular on shows like High Stakes Poker and a Full Tilt Poker Pro. However, his career was derailed after the events of Black Friday in 2011, when revelations about significant gambling debts and financial troubles pushed him out of the spotlight.
Now, years later, Lindgren is set for a comeback on one of poker’s biggest live streams. His experience in high-pressure, high-stakes environments could serve him well, despite being away from the biggest games for some time. Viewers familiar with his past performances will be eager to see whether he can recapture some of his old magic under the lights once again.
The Million Dollar Game will continue at Hustler Casino Live over the next few nights, with well-known players like Alan Keating, Texas Mike, and Nik Airball expected to participate. With million-dollar pots on the line, the action promises to be fast, intense, and full of drama — a perfect setting for a veteran like Lindgren to make a splash once again.
