We spoke to the Lerner brothers at the break, and Derek (yes, we had to ask which was which, but so long as they don't change t-shirts we are now good for the rest of the day) told us an interesting hand he played against former English international footballer Teddy Sheringham.
It turns out that Sheringham opened for 2,500 before D. Lerner made it 8,000 to go with pocket queens; Sheringham pushed and Lerner called. Mr. Lerner was briefly delighted to see Sheringham holding a somewhat esoteric 
, until a king dropped on the board to double up the Brit. Although Lerner is now down to 16,000, he didn't seem too bothered about it at the break. "I'm in with a fighting chance," he said cheerfully.
Brother Aaron is doing rather better on 72,000.
