Ken “Teach” Aldridge

Erik Seidel opened to 35,000 under the gun then picked up calls from Iaron Lightbourne and Vlad Mezheritsky. Ken “Teach” Aldridge moved all-in for ~300,000 from the small blind Seidel came over the top to isolate.

Aldridge: AcKd
Seidel: QsQd

Seidel had another big hand and Aldridge needed something to stay alive but it was Seidel hitting the Qc8h4c flop. The 8s turn left the popular player drawing dead to the 6s river and 45th place.
