Michael Binger limped into the pot from the button and Ty Stewart kicked it up another 25,000. Binger made the call and the flop came {5-Diamonds} {3-Clubs} {Q-Spades}.
Stewart quickly fired a bet of 40,000 and Binger made the call.

The {A-Spades} fell on the turn and both players checked. Fifth Street brought the {9-Spades} and Stewart fired a 75,000 bet that Binger called immediately:

Showdown:
Stewart: {A-Hearts} {Q-Clubs}
Binger: Mucked

As Stewart raked in the pot, Binger commented, "That ace saved me from going broke, actually."

After the hand, Binger was left with just under 200,000 in chips and Stewart is now sitting with close to 1.78 million.
