The Twins Are No Longer Conjoined
Nov 15, '10
Matt Affleck raised, Carlos Watanabe called and Tomas Elexhauser called from the small blind. Then Derek Lerner decided to move all in for 176,000 from the big blind.
Affleck folded and Watanabe called all in. Elexhauser then called both players and showed down the worst hand with pocket nines.
Lerner showed pocket jacks, but they were behind to Watanabe’s pocket kings. The board fell 10-8-7-2-5 and Watanabe tripled up. Lerner was left crippled with just a small blind. The next hand, Lerner was all in and busted by Affleck.
This leaves Aaron Lerner as the sole representative of the Lerner family.
