Tran and Eastgate Being Careful

J.C. Tran was on the button, and he limped in after the action folded around the table. Joe Hachem completed the small blind, and Peter Eastgate made it 80,000 straight from the big blind. Tran called while Hachem ducked out.

Heads up then, the flop came {6-Hearts} {Q-Clubs} {Q-Hearts}, and Eastgate check-called a bet of 65,000 from Tran. The turn was the {J-Clubs} and the river the {5-Diamonds}, with the two players check-checking it down. Eastgate tabled {9-Clubs} {9-Spades}, and it was good enough to earn him that little pot.
