Howard Lederer Leaves the Stage

[user108095]

Howard Lederer will not be the 2010 Heads Up Champion

Yet again, our feature table is the first to break in the Hearts bracket.

This time, Phil Hellmuth took out Howard Lederer in a classic race after the Professor shoved with {10-Clubs}

{10-Clubs}

{10-Hearts}

and the Poker Brat called with {A-Hearts}

{A-Hearts}

{K-Hearts}

.

Hellmuth took the lead on a flop of {K-Spades}

{K-Spades}

{5-Clubs}

{2-Clubs}

and held on when the {9-Spades}

{9-Spades}

appeared on the turn. The {K-Diamonds}

{K-Diamonds}

was unnecessary overkill on the river and Lederer was sent to the rail.
