Another Champ on the Ropes

[user75032]

2008 WSOP Main Event champion Peter Eastgate

Things haven't gone well for the world champions in Sydney. Peter Eastgate is the latest one to reel from a hit to his stack. It was a five-way pot that had been raised to 900 preflop by an early-position player. Eastgate was in the cutoff. On a flop of {2-Clubs}

{2-Clubs}

{8-Diamonds}

{10-Clubs}

, the preflop raiser made it 5,000 to go. Only Eastgate called.

On the turn {6-Diamonds}

{6-Diamonds}

, the early-position player went all in. Eastgate called with an overpair of jacks, but he was up against a bigger overpair of kings. There was no help for Eastgate when the river fell {6-Clubs}

{6-Clubs}

. He's down to about 9,000 in chips.
