In the end, however, Aldridge showed more aggression than Cavella and that was the difference in the heads-up match. Cavella seemed willing to take only one stab at a pot; if Aldridge called then Cavella gave up. As a result once the blinds got huge it only took Aldridge a few pots to build a huge chip lead.
For his efforts, Ken Aldridge's name will be added to the pantheon of WSOP gold bracelet winners. He also gets $428,259 in prize money. Not a bad day at all.
Congratulations Ken Aldridge, and good night from the Amazon Room at the Rio.
