Lederer to Zero

A player in early position opened to 475 before a player called simply Patrick moved all in for about 4,500 behind him. In the next seat over, Howard Lederer looked down at a good one, and he called all in for right around 4,000, perhaps a bit less. "Uh-oh, I must be dead," Patrick said when the initial raiser folded. And he was almost right.

Showdown
Patrick: {K-Diamonds} {Q-Diamonds}
Lederer: {Q-Hearts} {Q-Spades}

The flop was just fine with The Professor as it came {A-Spades} {6-Hearts} {3-Hearts} to keep him well in front. the {A-Hearts} on fourth street took away one of Patrick's three outs, but as it turned out, it wouldn't matter. The unfriendly {K-Clubs} ripped off on the river, one of the two bad cards for Lederer. He nodded in acknowledgement, as if he saw it coming the whole time, and he wished everyone a good evening as he paced slowly out the door.
