Razz
Lederer: X-X / 7-K-A-2
Ashton: X-X / 5-J-10-A
One of the more interesting tables in the room is Red 367. That's where chip leader (and NBC Heads-Up Championship MOC) Jordan Siegel, John Juanda, Howard Lederer and Andre Akkari (decked out in a Brazilian football jersey) are all seated.
Lederer once famously said that it takes a lot to put him in a bad mood, but razz can do it. So far Lederer's mood is good. He took on Matthew Ashton in a recent razz hand. Lederer completed third street and was raised by Ashton. The two were heads-up to fourth street, where both caught bricks. Ashton's bet was called by Lederer.
Lederer caught good on fifth street and bet out of turn. The dealer pointed out it was Ashton's action.
"He's checking," said Lederer. Then, by way of explanation for his out-of-turn bet: "It's a cash game thing. No one even bothers with that."
Ashton check-called on fifth, then check-folded on sixth street.
