Ben Ludlow's Queens Fall to Shan Jing's Fives

Dec 2, 2023

Ben Ludlow opens to 14,000 and one player calls, but then Shan Jing moves all in for 186,000. Ludlow quickly pushes his stack into the middle while the other player gets out of the way. 

Jing tables Diamond 5Heart 5 while Ludlow flips over a much larger Heart QClub Q for the lead. 

Unfortunately for Ludlow, the flop comes out Spade KHeart JSpade 5 to give Jing a set to gain the upper hand. 

The turn Heart 10 gives Ludlow some hope as he gains an open-ended straight draw, but alas, the river is the brick Club 2 and he is sent to the rail.

The tournament clock shows 162 players remaining and this flight will be playing down to 144. 

Shan Jing – 352,000 (59 bb)
Ben Ludlow – Eliminated
