Ly Teaches the Professor a Lesson

Minh Ly opens from the button with a pot raise to 21,000. Next to act is Howard Lederer, and he reraises all in, covering Minh Ly. Ly calls, and shows down {5-Hearts} {5-Diamonds}. Howard sees he's been bested by one, showing down {4-Clubs} {4-Diamonds}.

The board doesn't come through for The Professor. It runs out {8-Clubs} {J-Diamonds} {3-Diamonds} {9-Clubs} {A-Spades}. When the dust settles, Minh Ly has doubled up to 178,000, while Lederer is crippled all the way down to just 14,000.
