Tough Table ... Oh Hell Yeah!
Level 8
: 500/1,000, 100 ante
In the major tournament area on table twenty-eight we find Mitchell Carle and Joel Cohen.
Doesn't sound like too tough of a table. No offense of course.
Well that's until we introduce the next three players.
Phil Ivey. Patrik Antonius. Howard Lederer.
This is not a level.
On one of the first hands they tangled, Lederer opened with a raise from under the gun with Antonius defending his big blind to see a flop fall.
Lederer's 3,500-chip continuation-bet was check-called by Antonius as the on the turn was checked through to see the land on the river. Antonius led for 11,000, and after several moments of deliberation, Lederer relinquished.
