Travis Erdman Eliminated in 7th Place ($24,968)

Travis Erdman - 7th Place
Travis Erdman - 7th Place
Big stack Ty Stewart just grew even bigger after eliminating Travis Erdman from the championship event.

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 {9-Spades} {5-Spades} {4-Spades}, 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: {6-Spades} {3-Spades}
Erdman: {K-Clubs} {K-Spades}

The turn and river bricked off {10-Hearts}, {4-Diamonds} 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.
