Howard Lederer 8-7--A-Q
Mel Judah A-K--K-9

Hand #2
Then, Jeffrey Lisandro doubles through Lederer with a flush, and he's knocked down to 20,000.
Hand #3
Then:
Lederer x-x--K
Gary Pflieger 5-2--10
Lederer bets and is called the whole way down and Pflieger just shows a 2 in the hole for a pair of twos. "Let me know if I need to improve," Lederer says of his nines. "Nope," Pflieger says. Lederer is at 45,000.
One of the two tables is unbalanced, so Daniel Negreanu gets the unlucky-for-opponents draw to move there -- right next to David Chiu. Negreanu has 133,000 and Chiu has 50,000.
