Stewart Bounds Back

On a flop showing {7-Hearts} {2-Spades} {4-Hearts}, Michael Binger check-called a 20,000 bet from heads-up opponent Ty Stewart.

The {5-Clubs} fell on the turn and Binger checked once more, allowing Stewart to fire again -- this time for 50,000; Binger made a quick call.

Fifth street delivered the {J-Spades} and Binger checked once more. Stewart then fired his biggest bet yet, making it 75,000 to play, and the wager sent Binger deep into the tank.

"You probably got me," said Binger as he thought to himself out loud. "Jack of hearts... set..." he murmured aloud, running through Stewart's various possible holdings.

Eventually, Binger made the call, saying, "I think I'm behind but I call."

As soon as he slid the 75,000 across the betting line, Stewart tabled {5-Spades} {4-Spades} for two pair and Binger tossed his cards into the muck pile.

After the hand, Binger fell back down to 470,000 in chips while Stewart climbed back up over the million mark with 1,172,000.
