From the small blind, Howard Lederer completed the bet, and Lennart Holtkamp raised, making it 14,000 to go. Lederer called, and they went heads up to the flop.

It came down {K-Spades} {Q-Diamonds} {4-Diamonds}. Lederer checked, and Holtkamp continued out with 25,000 chips. Lederer moved all in, and was quickly called.

Lederer: {A-Spades} {K-Hearts} {9-Spades} {3-Diamonds}
Holtkamp: {K-Clubs} {Q-Clubs} {10-Spades} {4-Hearts}

Lederer was well behind, and when the board ran out {9-Hearts}, {Q-Hearts}, it spelled the end for The Professor. After making a noteworthy comeback from a very low stack, Lederer couldn't gain quite enough ground, and he is out shortly before the final table. He will take home $14,175, though he looked more than a little disappointed as he left the tournament room.
