Howard Lederer Eliminated in 9th Place ($30,668)

Chris Ferguson brought it in, and Steve Sung raised it up. Lederer three-bet it and both opponents called. Howard picked up the {A-Clubs} on fourth street, and he bet out. Both Ferguson and Sung called. Fifth street brought Lederer the {10-Clubs}. He bet out again, this time all in for his tournament life. Ferguson raised him, and Sung folded. The hands were turned over as the cards ran out.

Lederer: ({5-?} {6-?}) {4-Hearts} {A-Clubs} {10-Clubs} {10-?} ({9-?})
Ferguson: ({A-?} {8-?}) {3-Hearts} {10-Diamonds} {A-Hearts} {9-?} ({K-?})

Ferguson's pair of aces takes the pot, as Lederer was unable to make a low or beat Jesus' high pair. Howard looks absolutely gutshot after his early-morning fall from prosperity. He is out in ninth place, on the final-table bubble, and will take home over $30,000. Not a bad payday certainly, but not what he had in mind either.
