Lederer Off to His Next Event
It hasn't been a good 2010 WSOP for Howard Lederer and it's not going to get any better in this event. He raised to 17,900 after Allen Kessler's opening raise of 3,500 was called by Annie Duke and a third player. Only that third player called Lederer's re-raise.
Lederer's last 3,000 chips went in on a flop of . When his opponent called, Lederer showed down the best hand, . He had two pair, kings and treys, and a diamond draw. His opponent had total air, and didn't make much with the turn. But the river was a deadly ace from space, to give Lederer's opponent aces and treys for the scoop.
Lederer has made his exit from this event in time to register for the $2,500 Eight-Game event which started at 5pm.
