False Start for Ludlow

Level 1 : 200/400, 0 ante
Benjamin Ludlow
Benjamin Ludlow

The revised structures mean that players will start with less big bets and more meaningful play in the first couple of levels of the day. For some, that will work out amazing while it's also possible to lose your stack a lot faster than you're used to in a razz tournament.

Benjamin Ludlow is on the bad side of things where he already lost half of his starting stack in the first 30 minutes. The latest pot he lost was when he opened up {7-}{5-}{4-}{3-}{2-} and he lost against the {6-}{5-}{4-}{3-}{2-} of his neighbor, Scott Silverman.

Ludlow is now down to 5,900 but he can still recover with the big bet at 400.
