Eastgate Doubles Up (Again)

Peter Eastgate raises to 140,000, Vivek Rajkumar reraises to 420,000 and after a moment's thought Eastgate reraises all-in. Rajkumar snap-calls but hates what he sees...

Rajkumar: {A-Spades} {K-Diamonds}
Eastgate: {A-Diamonds} {A-Clubs}

{4-Clubs} {3-Clubs} {4-Hearts} {7-Hearts} {9-Clubs} is a board that can't save Rajkumar. Eastgate is up to 3,500,000 and Rajkumar is crippled with just 400,000.

Eastgate Doubles Up

Peter Eastgate raised to 145,000 from middle-position, Vivek Rajkumar was in the big blind and announced all-in.

Eastgate instantly called with {10-Diamonds} {10-Hearts}, Rajkumar showed {K-Hearts} {7-Diamonds} and the board came {Q-Hearts} {Q-Diamonds} {4-Hearts} {3-Spades} {4-Clubs}.

Eastgate is up to 2,300,000 again and Rajkumar has 1,950,000.

Senniger probably feels bad about folding top pair now...

Small Pot for Milhomens

A three-way pot was limp-checked to the turn of the {Q-Diamonds} {6-Spades} {10-Hearts} {8-Clubs} board, at which point Rui Milhomens bet 110,000. Martin Gudvangen called, Peter Eastgate folded, and they saw a {9-Diamonds} river.

Both players checked the dangerous looking card, and Milhomens turned over {5-?} {7-?} for a ten-high straight. Whatever Gudvangen had, he couldn't beat it, and a smallish pot went to Milhomens.

Very Gud Bet

East of needing
East of needing
Martin Gudvangen raised to 140,000, and it folded around to Peter Eastgate who announced all in for 1.035 million.

Gudvangen gave it some serious and lengthy thought, getting those elements of the media who have not abandoned the whole thing to go play the media tournament instead very excited. After a while, though, he passed. Play continues.

Isn't There a Rule About Mascots?

Nikolai Senninger was spotted doing something which we think was pointing the face of his fairly sizable Lion King stuffed toy at the hole card camera -- but from the angle we got it at, it looked frankly obscene.

Senniger Gives Up Top Pair

It's passed around to Nikolai Senniger, who raises to 150,000 in the small blind. Vivek Rajkumar calls in the big blind.

The flop comes {Q-Hearts} {9-Clubs} {8-Diamonds} and Senniger bets 200,000 and, after a minute, Rajkumar moves all-in.

Senniger tanks for about 3 minutes before folding {Q-Clubs} face up...

Cullen 'Em Dead

Well, sort of.

Dominic Cullen, our shorty at the unofficial final table on 795,000, moved all in -- but nobody fancied taking him on, and he picked up the blinds and antes.
