Dean Aldred Eliminated in 5th ($3,500)

After a plucky performance that would have made Karate Kid look lazy, Dean Aldred has finally succumbed to the hands of the Poker Gods to depart in fifth. His swan song came at the hands of Karim Louis, all in on a Js-6c-7h flop with Aldred's Ac-Ah looking good against 9s-7c. But, of course, poker's a 'funny old game', and after a raggy 3h arrived on the turn, a 9d duly hit the river to give Louis two pair, and Aldred the door.
