As WPT Season X continues, we’ll profile a player who features prominently in the upcoming episode, which airs Sundays at 8:00pm & 11:00pm local time* on FSN.

With WPT Legends of Poker: Part 2 down to five players, one of the standouts at the final table is poker player Ken Aldridge. A retired teacher (often nicknamed “The Professor” by other players), Aldridge started racking up live cashes back in 2005. Since then he has amassed almost $1 million in career live tournament earnings, including a WSOP bracelet in 2009 in the $1,500 Six-Handed No Limit Hold’em event. Since then he has cashed in 8 other WSOP events and several smaller tournaments.

This is the deepest run for Aldridge at a WPT event and his first WPT televised final table. He’s easy to spot at any final table as he only wears yellow, as evidenced in the picture above.

Make sure to tune in at, or set your DVR for, this Sunday at 8:00pm & 11:00pm local time* on FSN to see how Aldridge fares as the final table winds its way toward engraving a new players name on the WPT Champions Cup.
