Fast Lerner

One player who decided to take a shortcut through the press room on his way outside for the break was Derek Lerner. Normally this sort of behaviour would be met with outrage from the media, but as Lerner told us how he doubled up we didn't mind so much.

Turns out he raised under the gun and got a call to see a {K-?}

flop with two diamonds on. The chips went in and Lerner's pocket aces were well ahead of his opponent's {K-?}

; the rockets held up to double Lerner to 64,000.
