Papola Gets the Best of Aldridge

Level 11 : 500/1,000, 100 ante

Ken Aldridge raised preflop to 2,500 before Jeffrey Papola three-bet him to 5,600. When it got back to Aldridge, he wasted little time in making the call and the two saw a flop heads up.

It came down {6-Clubs}{k-Hearts}{j-Clubs} and both players checked. The turn ws the {5-Clubs} and Aldridge led for 2,500. Papola called and the river was the {3-Spades}. Again, Aldridge led for 2,500 but this time Papola made it 8,000. Aldridge contemplated the decision for a bit before throwing in the necessary chips. Papola tabled {k-}{10-} and Aldridge angrily mucked his cards. A Queen flipped over in the process.

Papola chips up to 70,000 while Aldridge falls to 38,000.
