Ken Aldridge

Michael Kassem raised from early position and WSOP bracelet winner Ken Aldridge, who was in the big blind, re-raised it. Kassem jammed all in and Aldridge snap-called.

In a remarkable turn of events, Kassem was once again the beneficiary of aces over kings in the span of three hands.

Ken Aldridge: {k-}{k-}
Michael Kassem: {a-Diamonds}{a-Clubs}

The board ran out {7-Clubs}{4-Diamonds}{4-Clubs}{2-Spades}{5-Spades} and Aldridge was gone just like that in eighth place.

Jones Shoves River

Level 31 : 60,000/120,000, 120,000 ante

Action was picked up on the river of a board that had run out {k-Spades}{2-Spades}{5-Diamonds}{3-Diamonds}{10-Clubs}.

The pot was about 1,700,000, Ryan Jones shoved his remaining amount of 2,065,000 to send Fikret Kovac deep into the tank. After about two minutes of stewing it over he folded his hand and showed a missed flush draw with a pair as he flashed the {10-Spades} .

He promoted Jones if that was good or not but Jones refused to answer as he collected the chips.
