Peter Eastgate was all in against Isaac Haxton, who would win his table and move on to the final if he could eliminate Peter. And things looked good for Ike, who had {K-Spades}

{K-Spades}

{Q-Clubs}

against Eastgate's {K-Diamonds}

{K-Diamonds}

{J-Diamonds}

. But Ike's rail wasn't so sure. "Diamonds versus Ike? That's a classic race," said Scott Seiver. Justin Bonomo, who had just joined Haxton's cheering section after busting from his table, agreed.

The flop proved them right: {J-Spades}

{J-Spades}

{4-Clubs}

{2-Hearts}

. The

{K-Hearts}

on the turn didn't change anything, nor did the {8-Diamonds}

{8-Diamonds}

on the river. "Classic ZeeJ jinx," said Eric Froelich. The two are close to even now. Haxton has 95,000, and Eastgate is up to 82,000.
