Third Pair Good for Eastgate

[user46392]

10-7 heaven

A sizable crowd of various railers and media personnel alerted us to the fact that Peter Eastgate was involved in a hand.

There was a flop on the felt, and it read {J-Spades}

{J-Spades}

{7-Clubs}

{6-Hearts}

. The gentleman in the big blind, who was most inconsiderately hiding his ID card under his chips, had checked to Eastgate. Eastgate bet 8,500, and Mr. Big Blind called.

The turn was the {3-Diamonds}

{3-Diamonds}

and Mr. Big Blind checked again. This time Eastgate bet 11,900 and his opponent tanked for a time while railers murmured to each other. Then he called.

The river was the {K-Hearts}

{K-Hearts}

and now both players checked. Eastgate was first to turn over his cards - the lowly {10-Hearts}

{10-Hearts}

{7-Hearts}

- and looked rather surprised when his opponent mucked.
