Level 5 : 250/500, 75 ante

As Day 1 of the 2018 WSOP Main Event drew to a close, 2015 Main Event runner-up Josh Beckley and Jarod Ludemann locked horns in a three-bet pot. It was Ludemann who had raised to 1,500 in middle position, Beckley made it 5,100 on the button and Ludemann called.

The flop was {A-Clubs}{7-Spades}{4-Hearts} and Ludemann check-called 9,700 from Beckley. The {6-Diamonds} on the turn prompted a second barrel from Beckley worth 17,500. Once again, Ludemann check-called the bet.

The river was the {Q-Clubs} and Ludemann checked a third time. Beckley cut out a small bet what appeared to be 12,800 and Ludemann snap-called it off.

Josh Beckley: {6-Spades}{5-Hearts}
Jacob Ludemann: {A-Spades}{K-Spades}

Beckley's pair of sixes was no good and Ludemann scooped up the sizable pot.
