WSOP Heads-Up: Eastgate Presses the Advantage
1 year ago
As Level 38 of the 2008 World Series of Poker Main Event draws to a close, Peter Eastgate has become the first $100 million man, stretching his advantage over Ivan Demidov to more than 3-1. Demidov seems content to let Eastgate do the bullying, and the Dane is squarely in control of this match.
Broken Record!
Tournament director Jack Effel has just grabbed the mic to inform the huddled masses that at 14 hours, three minutes long, this WSOP Main Event final table is now the longest in recorded history, superseding the 2005 iteration during which it took Joe Hachem 14 hours, two minutes to claim the title.
Next stop is the longest-ever WSOP final table, which was set at this year's World Series of Poker Europe when John Juanda took roughly three years to claim the Main Event title. Onward!
Nice Pot for Eastgate
Peter Eastgate limps in before Ivan Demidov raises to $1.95 million out of the big blind. The flop comes 9
7
6
and Demidov bets out $3.625 million. Eastgate considers his options before making the call and the turn is the J.
Let's break some records.
Both players check to see the river, which brings the Q, and Demidov bets out $7 million. Eastgate makes the call and the Russian tables A T for ace-high. Eastgate has J 8 for second pair and takes down the pot.
Action Board!
Eastgate limps in and Demidov checks his option. The flop comes 5
4 3 and the poker pundits in the crowd whistle appreciatively. Both players check. The turn is the 4 and Demidov bets out $1.25 million. Eastgate makes the call and the river is the 4.
Demidov checks this time and Eastgate bets out, making it $3 million to play. Demidov folds and Eastgate takes the pot.
