Daniel Aldridge Recieves An Early Christmas Gift

With the board reading {5-Spades}{3-Spades}{5-Clubs}{A-Diamonds}{2-Clubs}, Daniel Aldridge shipped his remaining stack of 35,300 into the pot. With 42,000 already in the middle, his opponent was being laid decent pot odds and after a long tank, he eventually made the call.

The opponent seemed to know he was making a mistake, saying "nice hand...well played" even before he saw Aldridge's {8-Spades}{5-Hearts}. Although severely crippled by the loss, the other player seemed more impressed by how Aldridge had played the hand, rather than disappointed in the result.
