Heads-up action from the WSOP Circuit Main Event at Harvey’s Lake Tahoe Continues:

After coming back from 200,000 to pull even, Binger pulled ahead of Stewart after a big hand between the two. Pre-flop, Stewart raised to 30,000 and Binger re-raised to 160,000 total. Stewart made the call and the flop fell 7h-5d-3d. Action was checked around and the flop fell the Jc. Stewart bet out 250,000 and Binger called. The river fell the Kd and both players checked. Binger flipped over Qs-7d for a pair of sevens and Stewart showed Ac-6h for air. After the hand, Binger moved up to 1.3 Million in chips and Stewart dropped to 680,000.

Binger would move up to around 1.39 Million in chips a couple of hands later. He would take down a pot worth around 400,000 after turning a full house with his pocket sixes.

A couple of hands later, Stewart raised to 40,000 pre-flop and Binger made the call. The flop fell 9d-8c-4h and Stewart moved all-in. Binger called and showed Q-9 for a pair of nines. Stewart showed A-8 for a pair of eights. The turn fell the 10d, giving Binger a straight draw. The river fell the Qs to give Binger two and the win. Ty Stewart finished as our runner-up in this circuit Main Event. He will take home $112,675.
