The experienced and well-known online professional Erick "E-Dog" Lindgren is about to face off with the young online poker professional Justin "ZeeJustin" Bonomo. Both have enjoyed massive success in the poker world, but one thing has eluded each player thus far: a World Series of Poker bracelet. Tonight, when the dust settles, one of them will have it. Two of the best players never to have won a bracelet, and soon it will be one player, still searching for one among the remaining events.
Justin Bonomo currently edges out Erick Lindgren in chips, 1.983 million to 1.340 million, but seeing as we'll be in no limit for 22 more minutes, anything can and will happen. Each player owns 100 big blinds and has plenty of play left in them.
Stay tuned for this epic confrontation!
