Erick Lindgren will be the Host of Full Tilt Charity Poker Tournament

This week Full Tilt will be holding a charity poker event to support the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society. This Texas Hold 'em No Limit poker tournament will feature a $5 + $5 buy-in and FullTilt will also award a Curtis and Co. watch with an estimated value of $2200.

The host of this Full Tilt poker tournament will be the World Series of Poker winner Erick "Edog" Lindgren. Lindgren won his first major tournament in the Bellagio in 2002, then won the World Poker Tour 10 months later. In 2008 Erick won the WSOP with a total pot of $374, 505, and to the day he has won over $7,300,000 in poker tournaments.

This charity poker event is open to any Full Tilt poker player and is being held in memory of the late Mindy Trinidad. Mindy was a poker player who died due to complications from her Leukemia. Many said that she had a bright future in the poker world and was a beloved friend to many.

This charity poker tournament will run starting on December 3rd at 7 p.m. EST. Half of the proceeds will benefit the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society. Non-members of Full Tilt Poker are also eligible to join the poker site and join the tournament.
