Former disgraced Full Tilt Poker pro, Erick Lindgren, has refiled for Chapter 11 Bankruptcy Protection, days after finishing seventh in the Millionaire Maker.

I would love to be a big-eared neuron in the mind of Erick Lindgren. He has created a debt load in excess of $10 million, has most of the poker world chasing him around the courts, and yet still manages to put the blinkers on and concentrate long enough to wade through 7,275 entrants to finish 7th in the Millionaire Maker.

A quick glance at The Hendon Mob website and you want to be enrolling him into the Poker Hall of Fame. Over $10.2m in live tournament earnings, two World Series of Poker (WSOP) bracelet wins, a WSOP Player of the Year (POY) title, and two World Poker Tour (WPT) Main Event victories.

Back in the real world, and he is recognized as a disgrace to his profession. Some would argue that he shouldn’t be allowed to play, others would like to bring back capital punishment for gambling crimes, and then there are those that pity him and the addiction that seems to have destroyed his life. And yet he still manages to compete with the very best.
