Congrats to Howard Lederer - Event #9 Champion

Howard Lederer mounted an impressive victory. He spent the majority of the day at the back of the pack and sat on a short stack. He patiently waited to make a move as dozens of runners busted out before him. He outlasted the young guns and several of the established Las vegas veterans en route to his $1,250,000 first place victory.

What a long strange trip it's been for Lederer, who started playing cards at the infamous Mayfair Club in New York City back in the 1980s.

Congrats to Howard Lederer for a job well done.
