Lederer Better Than Yu
. With the cameras rolling, the table talk commenced.Yu: "I know you don't have it."
Lederer: "Oh, I have it."
Yu: "Maybe you should bet 10,000 and I'll call."
Lederer: "OK, I bet 10,000." He reached for his chips to take some back, then smiled and left them in the middle of the table.
A minute or so passed.
Lederer: "If you knock me out, they'll probably put you on TV."
Yu: "OK, OK. I fold. But I know you don't have it. If you had bet 5,000, I would have called."
As Lederer was raking the pot, he chuckled. "I like that he claims he would have called 5,000," said Lederer to the player on his left.
The discussion continued a few hands later, with Yu still not convinced that Lederer could beat king-jack, the hand Yu claims he folded.
"You should have made the hero call then," said Lederer. "You could have told all your friends to watch you on TV." Then he turned more serious, and said, "I raised you from first position, I raised you on the flop, and I moved in on the turn. Do you really think your jack was good?"
Yu had no response.
