Hand #204 - Peter Eastgate

Peter Eastgate has the button. He calls the big blind, once again giving Ivan Demidov the big blind option. Demidov exercises it with a raise to 2.8 million that Eastgate calls.

{A-Diamonds} {J-Hearts} {3-Spades}

Demidov has been playing very cautiously out of position and the does so here by checking. Eastgate checks it right back. On the turn {J-Diamonds}, Demidov again checks. Eastgate makes it 3.25 million to go. Demidov elects to call, taking us to the river, which is the {Q-Clubs}. Demidov is letting Eastgate lead all the action and does so by checking again. Eastgate bets 6.95 million, bringing a snap-call from Demidov.

Showdown

Eastgate: {A-Clubs} {Q-Hearts}
Demidov: muck

Eastgate takes down the pot with two pair, aces and queens and sends us to our first twenty-minute break.
