Jarod Ludemann Eliminated in 10th Place ($34,578)
Level 24
: Blinds 25,000/50,000, 50,000 ante
Jarod Ludemann opened the action from the cutoff with a raise to 500,000. Renji Mao, in the small blind, looked a bit puzzled by the sizing but eventually moved all in, putting Ludemann at risk. After a short pause, Ludemann made the call, and it went to a showdown.
Jarod Ludemann: 6♦6♥
Renji Mao: 7♣7♦
The 3♥2♦5♣ flop gave Ludemann a few outs to a straight, but the 10♣ on the turn and K♣ on the river brought no further help. Just one elimination shy of the final table, Ludemann hit the rail while Mao stacked the pot.
