Aldridge First to Fall
In the previous hand, Chase Steely raised the maximum of 28,000 on the button, leaving himself with just 18,000 behind. Michael McKenna called from the big blind and chose to bet first on 
. Steely was seemingly unpleased with the situation and gave it ample thought before deciding to fold.
In the subsequent hand, Ken Aldridge raised to 25,000 from the hijack, Steely called all in from the cutoff, and McKenna also called from the small blind. The flop was 
and McKenna checked. Aldridge shoved all in for his remaining 24,000 and McKenna called it off.
Chase Steely: 
Ken Aldridge: 
Michael McKenna: 
The turn and river didn't bring a low and kept Steely's hand ahead for the high, who tripled up. Aldridge lost the side pot to McKenna and was eliminated.
