Runner-up Ty Stewart

Micheal Binger called Ty Stewart's option raise of 40,000 more before seeing a flop of {4-Hearts} {8-Clubs} {9-Diamonds}. Stewart led out with a 60,000 bet which was then raised up to 180,000. Facing the additional raise, Ty Stewart announced, "All in," as he risked his last 300,000. Binger called the post-flop shove and tabled {Q-Hearts} {9-Clubs}, which was ahead of Stewart's {A-Hearts} {8-Hearts}.

The crowd hovered around the table as announcer Tom Sexton laid out the scenario. Everyone watched in anticipation as the turn was {10-Diamonds}. The dealer put a {Q-Diamonds} on the end as Binger simultaneously clapped in victory as the card fell.

Ty Stewart was acknowledged for his deep run, as it was pointed out that he is mostly a cash game player in some of the premier card rooms of the West Coast. He will now have much more ammo for those sessions as he takes home $112,675.
