Hand #186 - Peter Eastgate

Peter Eastgate has the button. He again opens for 2 million chips. Demidov calls to a flop of {8-Hearts} {8-Clubs} {5-Clubs}. Both players check, taking us to the turn, which is the {A-Spades}. Again Demidov checks, but that's not the case for Eastgate. He bets 2.25 million. Demidov thinks it over, then calls.

The river is the {4-Diamonds}. Demidov checks a third street, and Eastgate checks behind. Neither player has hit the board. Demidov shows a pair of eights, jack kicker with {J-?} {10-Diamonds}; Eastgate takes it down with a pair of eights, queen kicker with {Q-Diamonds} {10-Clubs}.
