Howard Lederer
Lederer first played in the WSOP in 1987 when he cashed in two events, including finishing fifth place in that year’s Main Event. He has since accumulated numerous cashes in WSOP, WPT, and other events, including a win at the 2008 Aussie Millions $100K where he scored a cool $1,000,000-plus payday. His all-time tournament winnings are over $4.7 million. “The Professor” is seeking his third WSOP bracelet, having won the $5,000 Limit Omaha Hi-Lo event in 2000 and the $5,000 Deuce-to-Seven Draw in 2001.
