Lederer Quietly Treads Water

Share on Twitter Share on Facebook

Howard Lederer has been parked at Blue #1, right by our media table, all day. He has engaged in some muted conversation with several of his opponents but hasn't been involved in too many pots.

He recently raised from early position to 750. Only the button called. On a flop of {Q-Diamonds}

{Q-Diamonds}

{10-Spades}

{9-Hearts}

, Lederer bet 1,000 and was called. The turn fell {5-Hearts}

{5-Hearts}

. Lederer bet 2,500 and was called again. Finally, on the {6-Diamonds}

{6-Diamonds}

river, Lederer's bet of 7,000 was enough to fold his opponent.

Lederer has about 24,000 in chips.
