Ken Aldridge Eliminated in 4th Place ($93,418)

[user75032]

Omaha-8

The end has come for Ken Aldridge. He limped his button before John Juanda completed the small blind and Phil Ivey checked the big blind. Juanda checked the {10-Diamonds} {j-Hearts} {2-Hearts} flop to Ivey, who led out with a bet. Aldridge raised, chasing Juanda out of the pot. Ivey called to the turn {8-Diamonds} , where Aldridge got the rest of his chips in. Ivey called. Showdown, gentlemen!

Ivey: {j-Spades} {9-Clubs} {6-Spades} {8-Hearts} , two pair, jacks and eights
Aldridge: {j-Diamonds} {q-Spades} {3-Clubs} {2-Clubs} , two pair, jacks and deuces

Neither player had a low draw. That left Aldridge drawing slim on the river. He was out in fourth place after the river paired eights, {8-Clubs} , to give Ivey a full house.
