After a player opens UTG to 2,000, Ben Ludlow three-bets to 7,000 from the button and the UTG player calls.
The flop comes 
and the UTG player check-calls a continuation bet of 5,000 from Ludlow.
The dealer puts out the 
on the turn and again the action checks to Ludlow, who fires again for 15,000.
His opponent then goes into the tank, and at one point slides a big stack of 5,000 chips in front of him as if he is about to push it in.
“Ok, you got it,” he announces after another 30 seconds and tosses his cards in, which seems to surprise Ludlow a bit and he shows he had the goods with the 
.
“Did that make you nervous when he pulled out that stack?” Tablemate Kharlin Sued joked.
“Oh definitely made me nervous,” Ludlow laughed as he raked in the pot.
Ben Ludlow – 122, 000 (122 bb)
