Erick Lindgren, member of Team Full Tilt, this week married fellow poker pro and poker personality Erica Schoenberg. The wedding took place in Las Vegas just in time before the start of the WSOP. Friend of the pair, poker brat Phil Helmuth was in attendance, as well as Mike “the Mouth” Matusow.
With two poker players as parents, if Lindgren and Schoenberg have kids, they’ll for sure have gamble in their blood. Lindren has over $7 Million in live poker winnings including two WPT titles, a WSOP bracelet, and much success online. In just the 2008 WSOP alone, Lindgren won over $1.2 Million, cashed 5 times, and earned the title of WSOP Player of the Year.
Erica Schoenberg is no slouch of her own. With over $700,000 in career winnings, Schoenberg has won some serious money at the poker table. Schoenberg took 16th place in the $25,000 NLHE Championship in 2007, plus third in a $1,500 WSOP event. Schoenberg, has also done poker news and reporting, and is not only known for her poker skill, but also her friendly personality and good looks.
The couple have been rumored to be dating for quite some time. Their marriage is certainly great news for friends, family, and fans in the poker community. On behalf of FlopTurnRiver, we wish them happiness joy and all the best. We would love to see them as a husband and wife combo both make a deep run in the same tournament.
