Joe Bishop Wins a 5 Million Pot

Joe Bishop raised to 330,000 and Peter Eastgate called. The flop was {A-Clubs} {5-Hearts} {2-Clubs}. Bishop bet 375,000, Eastgate raised to 1,000,000 and Bishop called. Bishop checked in the dark before the {4-Hearts} came down. Eastgate bet 1.4 million and Bishop called. The river was the {10-Diamonds}. Bishop checked, and Eastgate checked behind.

Bishop showed {5-Clubs} {6-Clubs} for only a pair of fives, Eastgate mucked and Bishop took it down, running out to his friends in the crowd and giving high fives.

"That's a super call" he said.

Bishop is up to about 11.1 million while Eastgate has fallen to 6.5 million.
