Scott Stewart

Scott Stewart raised to 2,700 from the button and a player in the small blind three-bet to 6,500. Brian Hastings four-bet shoved from the big blind for around 25,000 and Stewart five-bet shoved for around 40,000. The player in the small blind called with both players covered.

Brian Hastings: {10-Spades}{10-Hearts}
Scott Stewart: {a-Clubs}{k-Diamonds}
Small Blind: {a-Diamonds}{q-Diamonds}

The board ran out {j-Spades}{5-Diamonds}{k-Spades}{6-Diamonds}{j-Hearts} and a pair of kings was good enough for Stewart to eliminate Hastings and take the big pot.
