Muy Bueno as Eastgate Hits the Rail

Eastgate - philosophical
Eastgate - philosophical
Peter Eastgate had some poor fortune and is now wandering the casino floor, no longer in the running for the EPT crown.

Most of the damage was done when he doubled up another player, the chips going in preflop. Eastgate held pocket {8-Diamonds} {8-Spades}, but the all-in gent was holding pocket {A-Spades} {A-Diamonds} and with no help from the {2-Diamonds} {10-Clubs} {9-Clubs} {4-Hearts} {4-Clubs} board, all in stayed in and Eastgate was down to roughly the 10-big-blind mark.

A few hands later he open-shoved in early position with {Q-Hearts} {J-Spades} and found himself called by Patrick Bueno on the button holding pocket {10-Spades} {10-Hearts}. He was coinflipping, but Bueno's tens held up, hitting an unnecessary set on the river of the {5-Clubs} {4-Hearts} {9-Diamonds} {A-Diamonds} {10-Clubs} board to knock out the world champ.
