Elizabeth: -X
Lederer:
The cards were flipped creating a mess on the table, so we're unsure which were the hole cards, but we know that the jacks and eights of Elizabeth were too good for the sevens and deuces of Lederer, sending him to the rail.
After the hand Elizabeth quipped, "What's funny is that his sister (Annie Duke) is my coach!"

Tony G has made a surge late in the evening despite giving off the vibes of someone disinterested in playing. He's had his head tucked into the collar of his jacket for quite some time and has been spotted "resting" his eyes on several occasions.
A few moments ago we spotted him in a hand where the action was on him and Tony was genuinely fast asleep. One of his opponents had to give Tony a shout to wake him up to play his hand!
We've just ticked past 2 a.m. so that's pretty understandable, but good luck to the person who disturbs Tony while he sleeps!
