Howard Lederer Goes Bust

[user108095]

While we were counting up Ted Forrest's chips, Howard Lederer and Carlos Mortensen went to battle on the same table when Mortensen raised to 600 from the cutoff and Lederer re-raised to 2,200 from the big blind.

After a flop of {6-Clubs}

{6-Clubs}

{K-Hearts}

{5-Diamonds}

, Lederer pushed his last 2,500 into the middle and Mortensen quickly called. Lederer showed {A-Diamonds}

{A-Diamonds}

{K-Diamonds}

for top pair while Mortensen showed {6-Hearts}

{6-Hearts}

{6-Spades}

for a set.

The {4-Diamonds}

{4-Diamonds}

on the turn and {8-Spades}

{8-Spades}

provided no help for Lederer, who was sent to the rail.
