Stephen Lindeblad

Stephen Lindeblad's poker career began with a strong showing in his home country. In May 2010, he won the $1,100 Pot-Limit Omaha event at the Melbourne Poker Championships held at Crown Casino, earning AU$12,950. The tournament attracted 37 entrants, and Lindeblad topped a field that included Con Angelakis and Billy Seri.

Lindeblad's most notable result came at the 2014 World Series of Poker Asia-Pacific (WSOP APAC). He entered the $1,100 No-Limit Hold'em Accumulator event, which drew 611 players and a prize pool of AU$611,000. Lindeblad navigated deep into the tournament, surviving to the final table where all ten players were Australian. On the final day, he was eliminated in fourth place by Luke Brabin, whose hand counterfeited Lindeblad's pocket pair on the turn. For his fourth-place finish, Lindeblad received AU$43,986.

Outside of poker, Stephen Lindeblad works as a jeweler at Diamonds on Broadbeach in the Greater Brisbane area. His LinkedIn profile lists him as a specialist in the trades department, currently employed there.

Based on available hand histories from the 2014 WSOP APAC final table, Lindeblad tends to play a cautious, positional game. He often check-folds to continuation bets and avoids large pots without strong holdings. His style is conservative, focused on preserving chips and picking spots to double up. This approach helped him survive deep into a large-field tournament while minimizing risk.
