"It Would've Worked, Except..."

Travis Erdman opened the pot with a raise to 10,000 from late position. Michael Binger then kicked it up a notch from the cutoff, making it approximately 46,000 to go. The button folded and when the action landed on Ty Stewart in the small blind, he moved all in for a total of 22,500. Allen Kessler folded his big blind, and Erdman folded as well, sending Binger and Stewart straight to the showdown:

Showdown:
Binger: {4-Hearts}

Stewart:

The board ran out {9-Hearts}

and Binger was drawing dead by the turn.

After the hand, Binger commented, "First move I make all day... It would've worked, except he wakes up with ace-queen!"

Stewart stacked up about 50,000 in new chips after the hand, while Binger absorbed the bee sting of a hit, dropping slightly to 109,000.
