Hand #95 -Peter Eastgate

[user25067]

Peter Eastgate has the button in Seat 9. He raises to 1,250,000, and Dennis Phillips puts in a reraise to 3,500,000 from the small blind. Ylon Schwartz folds the big blind and the action is back on Eastgate, who flicks in a call.

The flop is {K-Diamonds} {2-Diamonds} {2-Spades}. Phillips checks, Eastgate bets 3,000,000, and Phillips raises to 7,000,000. Eastgate follows up that raise with a reraise all in, putting Phillips to a decision for nearly all his chips. Phillips elects to fold and the pot is pushed to Eastgate.

Eastgate's supporters, spearheaded by an extremely excited Jesper Hougaard, began singing a loud, yet nonsensical call-and-response chant as Eastgate raked in the pot. It went something like this:

"Ooba ooba ooba! (Ooba ooba ooba!) Blah blah blah! (Blah blah blah!)"

Seriously. That's not just us goofing on the Danish language.
