At 6:45 PM, Erick Lindgren gets in the game and even if he isn’t in a hand (though he frequently is), the Fun Quotient goes up substantially. He could pick on anyone – and does – but he’s one of the few people on Earth who will give it to Phil Ivey relentlessly and without reserve.

Referring to Phil’s sloppy chip stack (which he’s done to keep anyone from reading a reflection of his hole cards off the glass), he calls Ivey “Pigpen.” Who else on Earth could get away with that? [Incidentally, a lot of best chatter comes up when the production stops, so you're getting stuff that won't even show up on European TV.]

As soon as Erick’s in the game, he and Phil are talking about betting each other to wear Chris Ferguson’s cowboy hat. Fifty thousand? Forty thousand? [No one has factored in the cost of Chris relinquishing it.]

Phil: “For $40,000, I’ll wear it right now.”

Erick: “You’d look good in it, too.”

Phil: “Better than you would.”

Erick: “You look better than me in that leather jacket … Pigpen.”

After Erick wins $58,000 in a pot – which draws Andy Bloch’s attention because he just finished giving his exit interview to Jeremiah Smith – Phil starts hounding him about the props. “It’s not to late to jump in Erick. Diamonds have been hot.”

A few minutes after 7 PM, Erick and Phil are talking about how much Phil has lost on the hands here (I’m pretty sure he’s way up in props), Howard Lederer says, “When you have Phil Ivey’s talent, you can play weak-loose for a day or two and see how it goes.”

Bloch, by the way, ends the MDCG minus $92,000, though with the asterisk that $35,000 was in props losses. You can hear his exit interview with Jeremiah Smith by clicking HERE.
