Stewart Tempts Staples
Level 19
: 5,000/10,000, 1,000 ante
A relatively small ball pot got really interesting on the river late on Day 3 as Jaime Staples and Scott Stewart did battle.
We joined the action on a flop of 
, with Staples facing a bet of 45,000. He called. The turn of 
saw both men check, but on the 
river, Stewart bet 99,000 - a pretty clear tease that he had the gutshot required to complete the straight.
"I should snap call just for that!" laughed Staples. But was he 'bound' to call?
"Maybe you're just on a different level to me." said Stewart.
Those words gave way to a Staples fold, and Stewart stacked up the newest chips to add to his mountain.
