Aldridge Triples, Elezra Nearly Doubles Through Rheem
In the biggest pot of the day, Chino Rheem raised to 310,000 on the button and Ken Aldridge moved all in from the small blind. Eli Elezra then raised the pot to 1,720,000 from the big blind and Rheem called.
Elezra moved all in on the flop and Rheem quickly called.
Ken Aldridge:
Eli Elezra:
Chino Rheem:
"I don't think you're getting out of this one, coach," Damjan Radanov told Aldridge.
Miraculously, the turn brought the to improve Aldridge to a set and the on the river didn't change things for Aldridge to win the main pot and for a massive side pot to go to Elezra with the aces.
"I won the side pot!" Elezra cheered.
"You've got to be the luckiest guy to hit that king!" Radanov told Aldridge.
"I'm f***ing good!" Aldridge roared with a laugh.
The hand gave Elezra a big chip lead and left the table in shock after seeing the two big stacks collide.
"Nice hand, Eli," Rheem said quietly.
