The Other Lederer

[user75032]

We've mentioned Howard Lederer's name several times today, but haven't talked at all about Robert Lederer (no relation, as far as we know). Lederer raised preflop to 1,200 and was called only by the big blind. Both players checked when the flop came {Q-Spades}

{Q-Spades}

{9-Spades}

{8-Spades}

. On the turn {Q-Clubs}

{Q-Clubs}

, the big blind checked again, inducing a bet of 2,500 from Lederer. The big blind then raised to 7,500 and Lederer made the call.

The river fell {Q-Hearts}

{Q-Hearts}

. The big blind checked to Lederer, who fired out 10,000. It was a crying call for the big blind, whose {9-Hearts}

{9-Hearts}

{9-Diamonds}

was no match for Lederer's {J-Clubs}

{J-Clubs}

{J-Spades}

.

"Wow," said the big blind. "That was a sick river."
