Lederer Takes Down Big Threeway Pot

Preflop, Howard Lederer raised to 12k, called by Ashman Griffin. Over to button Chris Bjorin, who calmly reraised a further 42k. He may not have been expecting both Lederer and Griffin to call him, but they did, and the flop came {8-Spades} {7-Spades} {10-Clubs} . Like payday, it was checks all round.

The turn was the {K-Diamonds} and Lederer, first to act, checked no more. He bet what looked a lot like 160k and would have put Bjorin all-in and seriously crippled Griffin if he called and lost... both players gave it some thought but in the end Lederer took it down there on the turn.
