Juanda showed for a pair of aces which Aldridge conceded was good.
Jeff Lisandro then asked to see the hand of Aldridge, since he was meant to open his cards first. Juanda took exception to this, since he didn't want Aldridge to suddenly find a better hand or perhaps a low that he didn't see. It was all safe though as Aldridge revealed .
David Baker raised from the cutoff with Bill Chen calling in the small blind. Chen then realized Baker only had small change behind, so he bet in the dark with Baker calling off his last chips.

The board ran out and Baker doubled up to around 180,000.
John Juanda raised the cutoff and Phil Ivey called in the big blind.
The flop landed and Juanda's continuation bet was enough to take it down. Juanda has won four of the first five hold'em pots to move up to 920,000. Ivey is at 350,000.
The limits are big (and about to get bigger). Winning one or two pots can make you the chip leader. Losing one or two can bust you from the tournament. Albert Hahn has that danger firmly in sight after losing a pot John Juanda. Hahn raised from the cutoff, then called Juanda's small-blind re-raise. Each player put in one bet on a flop of . Hahn folded to Juanda's bet on the turn.

Despite an earlier double-up, Baker is now the shortest of the shorties, with 140,000. Juanda has about 700,000.
Phil Ivey fans are not going to be happy to hear that their god is now rocking the short stack after doubling up Dave Baker. Ivey double-bet an open pair of eights on fourth street and was called by Baker. Ivey kept firing on fifth street, with Baker then raising all in. Ivey called, needing to improve on the river with an eight or a five. He caught a ten to give Baker a sweat-less double-up.
Baker now has about 440,000. Ivey is down to 330,000.
