Hand #20 - Peter Eastgate

Peter Eastgate has the button in Seat 9. Everyone folds in front of Eastgate, who raises to 750,000. Craig Marquis, sitting in the big blind, is the only caller.

Both players check the flop of {2-Diamonds} {10-Clubs} {a-Diamonds}, taking us to our first turn card of the final table -- the {2-Clubs}. Marquis again checks it over to Eastgate. The aggressive young Dane stares at the board for thirty seconds before checking behind. Marquis checks a third time when the river falls {9-Clubs}, finally bringing a bet from Eastgate of 1.25 million. Marquis calls and is shown {A-Hearts} {4-?} by Eastgate, which is the winner when Marquis mucks his hand.
