Peter Eastgate has the button. He makes it 2 million to go. Ivan Demidov mulls things over, casually riffling chips. He settles on a re-raise to 6.175 million total. Eastgate mucks, much to the delight of the Russian contingent, especially a guy in a Soviet Army hat who has a Soviet flag draped over his shoulders.

Hand #192 - Peter Eastgate

[user75032]

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}

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}

for a rivered pair of nines, which is good enough to take down the pot.
