The flop came {K-Spades} {Q-Spades} {8-Diamonds} and Lederer moved all in for his last 37,000. It was folded around to Monro, who made the call with {7-Spades} {9-Spades} to Lederer's {K-Diamonds} {10-Diamonds}. The {7-Hearts} gave Monro more outs to go with his flush draw but it was the {J-Spades} on the river that gave Monro the pot and eliminated Lederer just before the break.
