Aldridge Running Good

Ken Aldridge was all in preflop with pocket queens -- {Q-Spades} {Q-Hearts} -- against his opponent's pocket kings -- {K-Spades} {K-Hearts}. The flop came down {A-Clubs} {Q-Clubs} {Q-Diamonds}, spiking Aldridge quads and putting his opponent all but out of here.

The turn brought the {3-Diamonds} and that ended things. The river completed the board with the {J-Clubs}.

Aldridge was the winner of the first six-handed event of this year's WSOP, earning over $400,000 for his victory. He is wearing his bracelet around his wrist and one of the other players in the tournament at an adjacent table saw the hand go down and commented, "That's how you win bracelets?"

Aldridge - 55,000
