Stewart Sinks, Then Soars

Casey Stewart has been a fixture on our top 10 leaderboard today, and we just caught him in back-to-back action packed hands.

On the first hand, we saw that Stewart was going heads up with Eric "Basebaldy" Baldwin. There was a pile of chips in the middle that looked to about 70,000, and Baldwin had slid out a bet of 32,600 after Stewart checked. Stewart gave the hand up, and Baldwin took the big pot.

On the very next hand, a player in mid position raised to 6,000. The next player to act moved all in for 20,000, and it folded to Stewart on the button. He made the call, as did the original raiser, and they saw the flop come down {k-Spades}{9-Clubs}{q-Spades}. Both players checked, and the turn brought the {10-Diamonds}. Stewart called when his opponent fired out 20,000, and the river was the {6-Hearts}.

It was checked to Stewart, who assembled a bet of 40,000, and slid it into the middle. His opponent snap called and asked "Do you have Ace Jack?" Stewart did indeed table {a-Clubs}{j-Hearts} for the nut straight, and his opponent flashed a jack before mucking his hand.

After that pot, Stewart is back up to 225,000, while Baldwin increased his stack to 236,000 on the hand before.
