Gotta Beat the Champ to be the Champ

In a pot that saw Chris "Jesus'" Ferguson, Yosh Nakano, David "Big H" Paul, and chip leader Ty Stewart limped in. The flop came {5-Diamonds} {8-Clubs} {K-Diamonds}, before Jesus put out a bet of 1,300. Stewart made the call while the two others bowed out. The turn brought the {A-Spades}, and saw Ferguson initiate the action once again with a bet of 3,300. Stewart studied the board before folding and showing a {K-?}. Ferguson raked the pot and chipped up to 30,000.

Stewart still has the chip lead, but with the former champ at the table holding onto it is another feat in itself.
