HAND #17 – Ken Aldridge raises to 600,000 under the gun and is called by Zach Vuong in middle position. Erik Cajelais also comes along, defending his big blind to take action three ways to the streets.

The flop is Spade AHeart KClub 6 and Cajelais checks to Aldridge, who makes a continuation-bet of 1.7 million. Vuong uses a time extension and then calls, with Cajelais folding behind.

Action goes heads up to the turn Diamond 8 and Aldridge checks. Vuong bets 1.15 million, Aldridge check-raises to 4.6 million, which is enough to put Vuong all in, and Vuong calls.

Zachary Vuong: Diamond ADiamond 9
Ken Aldridge: Club ASpade Q

Vuong’s top pair is out-kicked by Aldridge’s and he needs to find a queen to double or an eight or six to chop and stay alive. None come on the river Spade 10 and he is eliminated by Aldridge.

Ken Aldridge – 10,400,000 (41 bb)
Zachary Vuong – Eliminated in 8th Place ($145,820)
