Cover Blown for the Champ

[user67765]

The defending champ Peter Eastgate is starting to get busy at his table but his cover might have just been blown after the following hand.

Eastgate opened with a raise from middle position to 5,500 with one late position caller coming along.

They took a flop of {9-Spades}

{9-Spades}

{9-Clubs}

{2-Clubs}

and Eastgate fired 7,000 which his opponent called. The turn was the {10-Clubs}

{10-Clubs}

and both players checked. The river brought the {Q-Clubs}

{Q-Clubs}

to put four clubs on board and again both checked it down.

Eastgate didn't have a club as he tabled an ambitious {2-Diamonds}

{2-Diamonds}

{3-Diamonds}

but it proved to be the best hand as his opponent mucked. Eastgate is up to 220,000.
