This is part of an ongoing series in which I summarize some of the most useful offerings at the Full Tilt Poker Academy, an incredible, free resource offered by Full Tilt to live up to its promise as the place to “learn, chat, and play with the pros.”
One of the biggest scores made by a Full Tilt pro in online tournament poker occurred in 2008 when Erick Lindgren won a $300 + $22 NLHE FTOPS event, scoring over $290,000 for the victory. Thanks to the Full Tilt Poker Academy, members have an unprecedented opportunity to watch the key hands from that final table from Lindgren’s perspective, as he explains how he planned his final table strategy, how he executed it, and how he changed his strategy as play unfolded.
For me, the defining moment of the Lesson was when the host, in his opening remarks, reviewed the payout structure and the first prize, and explained, “Obviously, as a professional, that’s the spot I want. You don’t get her enough, you need to win. The question is, what are my opponents thinking?”

[This is part of my narrative of the NBC Heads-Up Championship, which this year is not appearing in real time but in serial form, as I write. Although I'm writing quickly, I'm also experiencing it all and trying to give at least a few hours of perspective before writing. Consequently, I'm posting this on Sunday morning from the tournament room, but the "story" is still early in the first round on Friday. I interrupted this order to share the electrifying experience of Annie Duke's victory over Paul Wasicka late last night. I encourage you to check out that post. Or, in the alternative, enjoy the story as it plays out.]

This is the last part of my four-part essay on my observations about the 2008 World Series of Poker. Becuase of the length, I’m breaking it into two posts.

[Written June 25, from the notebooks of June 2]
At 1AM my table breaks and I move to Table 4, Seat 4. Erick Lindgren is in Seat 2. Patrik Antonius is in Seat 6. Chau Giang is in Seat 7. Did I mention there was a pretty tough field in this one?
