Howard Lederer - Less Happy Than Pictured

Omaha 8:

Phil Ivey raised preflop, called by small blind Howard Lederer before big blind Sherkhan Farnood reraised. Two calls.

Flop: {10-Diamonds}

Check to Farnood, who bet; again two calls.
Turn: {J-Diamonds}

Check to Farnood, who bet, Ivey called and then Lederer raised to 3,200. That got rid of Ivey, but not Farnood.
River: {10-Spades}

Now Lederer fired the 1,600 and after a bit of a pause, Farnood made the call, although he didn't look too happy about it.

Lederer shrugged and could only table {A-Spades}

for A-K high, while Farnood's {A-Hearts}

took the pot. Lederer down to 20,000.

Then...

Paul Jackson's turn came (this time for high and low) on a {K-Spades}

board against super-short-stacked Gary Jones. Jones had called on the flop, they'd both checked the turn, and now he paid off Jackson's 1,600 on the river only to see his precious chips move away as Jackson showed {A-Diamonds}
