Travis Erdman Eliminated in 7th Place ($24,968)
Stewart opened the pot with a raise to 18,000 from under the gun plus one and Erdman, sitting to Stewart's immediate left, re-popped it to 45,000. Action folded all the way around the table and back to Stewart who made the call.
The flop came down , and Stewart checked to Erdman, who slid three stacks of yellow 1,000 chips across the betting line, a bet worth 60,000. Stewart then quickly announced, "All in," and Erdman made the call:
Showdown:
Stewart:
Erdman:
The turn and river bricked off , and Stewart took down the pot on the strength of a spade flush.
Despite having busted out a bit earlier than he would've hoped, Erdman can be proud of one thing: he's the only player in WSOP Circuit history to have made the final table of a championship event at the same location three years straight.
Stewart, meanwhile, stacked up approximately 490,000 in chips with the win, pulling that much closer to chip leader Michael Binger.
