Ken Aldridge

Ken Aldridge (pictured) raises UTG+1 to 25,000, Ruslan Dykshteyn reraises from the button to 60,000, and Aldridge calls. The flop comes Spade KHeart 5Heart 2, and Aldridge moves all in for about 95,000.

Dykshteyn calls with Spade AHeart A for an overpair, and Aldridge turns over Club AClub 9 for ace high. Aldridge needs something runner-runner to stay alive.

The turn is the Spade 3, giving Aldridge outs to a gutshot straight draw, but the river card pairs the board with the Club 5. Dykshteyn wins the pot with his pocket aces to eliminate Aldridge from the tournament.

Ruslan Dykshteyn  –  995,000  (83 bb)
Ken Aldridge  –  Eliminated in 53rd Place  ($10,870)
