Platt Runs Good

Brandon Bloom

Level 4 : 1,500/3,000, 3,000 ante

Before the break, Platt was seen raking in the rest of David Williams' chips. Williams re-entered and was hoping to get the same seat but was moved to another table.

Soon after, Ben Ludlow had gotten his 70,000 stack in preflop from the small blind against Jeff Platt in early position.

Ben Ludlow:
Jeff Platt:

The board ran out and Ludlow was forced to re-enter as the PokerGO commentator chipped up to become possibly the biggest stack in the room.

Jeff Platt	245,000 145,000	145,000
David Williams	100,000 25,000	25,000

Platt Takes Ludlow's Stack Again

Brandon Bloom

Level 5 : 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante

Not too long ago, Jeff Platt took all of Ben Ludlow's chips. Ludlow re-entered and drew the same seat.

Platt's thirst for Ludlow's chips appeared to have not been quenched as he once again had Ludlow at risk when he called in early position against Ludlow's small blind jam for about 75,000 chips.

Ben Ludlow:
Jeff Platt:

Ludlow ran into Platt's rockets and found no help as the board ran out to eliminate him for good as his re-entry was already exhausted, leaving him with more free time today than he had planned.

"Well, I guess I'm gonna get blacked out now," Ludlow joked. "Good luck everyone... even Jeff."

Jeff Platt	360,000 115,000	115,000
