Aldridge Eliminated
We caught up with Ken "Teach" Aldridge on his way to the rail, his Main Event run having been cut short shy of the cash during Level 18.
"Flopped top two versus a flush draw," he explained when recounting the hand which had caused him to lose the majority of his stack. Having to push shortly thereafter, he failed to improve and has thus been eliminated.
Aldridge was his usual jovial self, though, as he commented on the turnout here at Harrah's Cherokee. "This has been a great event," he said. "Such a good turnout, and I really enjoy the social aspect of it, too."
We likewise have enjoyed the hospitality and friendliness of players and staff alike this week, and like Aldridge are already looking forward to the WSOP Circuit's return here after what has been a successful debut.
