Ty Stewart opens with a raise to 26,000 and Michael Binger answered with a raise of his own, making it 86,000 to play; Stewart made the call.

The flop came {J-Diamonds} {10-Spades} {Q-Spades} and Binger check-called a 90,000 bet from his opponent. The {3-Hearts} fell on fourth street and Binger checked again, allowing Stewart to fire once more, this time making it 200,000 to play. Binger made the call.

The {7-Diamonds} was the last card off the deck and Binger checked once more, which prompted Stewart to announce, "All in." Stewart had Binger covered.

Binger then pulled off his sunglasses and sat uneasily in his chair, facing the biggest decision of his tournament thus far. After a solid three minutes passed, Binger eventually laid down his hand, conceding the pot to Stewart.

"Nice lay down," Stewart said as he raked in the massive pot. "You call, it's all over."

Chip counts after the hand are as follows:
Stewart - 1,445,000
Binger - 535,000
