Hand #192 - Peter Eastgate

Peter Eastgate
Peter Eastgate
Peter Eastgate has the button. He limps in from the small blind and Ivan Demidov checks the big blind. We see a flop of {8-Clubs} {3-Spades} {2-Hearts} Practically before Demidov has even rapped the table to check, Eastgate fires 1 million into the pot. Demidov is not so fast to fold. He calls.

The turn card is the {5-Clubs}, bringing quick checks from both ends of the table. Demidov also checks the river {9-Diamonds}. Eastgate reaches for his chip stacks and assembles a bet of 2.675 million. He is intently staring down Demidov, who glances from his chip stack to Eastgate and back to his chip stack. He announces, "Call" after about a minute. Eastgate shows {J-Diamonds} {9-Hearts} for a rivered pair of nines, which is good enough to take down the pot.
