Eastgate Doesn't Like the River

Peter Eastgate made it 6,100 to play from under the gun and got called by both the button and big blind.

Action checked to Eastgate on a flop of {8-Spades}{8-Clubs}{3-Spades} and he put in a continuation bet of 9,000. The button folded and the big blind came along. Both players checked the {A-Diamonds} on the turn and Eastgate bet 13,000 when action checked to him after the {A-Clubs} landed on the river.

When the big blind check-raised to 40,000, Eastgate looked disgusted with the spot he found himself in and quickly mucked his hand.
