Aaron Gustavson Wins 2009 EPT London Main Event (£850,000)Oct 07, '09
Eastgate was dominated with A Player Tags: Aaron Gustavson, Peter Eastgate First Hand FuryOct 07, '09
With four million already in the pot on a board of Q Eastgate counts out the chips, looks at Gustavson, and tanks. The pot is now 7,325,000. After a few torturous moments, Eastgate lets it go and says, “Oh boy.” He exhales as Gustavson chips up to more than 16 million and Eastgate moves down to 5 million.

The flop is A Gustavson checks, Eastgate thinks for a little bit, and then pushes 400,000 over the line. Gustavson takes out the amount and shuffles it for a moment. He then takes another stack out and raises to 1 million. After a minute Eastgate calls. “Have you an ace?” says Gustavson. “No,” said Eastgate as both players worryingly looked at each other. The world champion then shows pocket eights for the set on the river and Gustavson mucks. Player Tags: Peter Eastgate WSOP Champ Doubles UpOct 06, '09
Eastgate: A Cullen: A The flop came a pretty uneventful 8 Floating in on the river was … the J Player Tags: Peter Eastgate Annette Obrestad Eliminated in 17th Place (£17,000)Oct 06, '09
Eastgate had pocket jacks and they held against Obrestad’s A-10. Eastgate doubled to over 1 million and Obrestad was left crippled. She got the rest of her stack in a few hands later with K-Q, dominated by Ivo Donev’s A-K. The board bricked once again and Obrestad was eliminated in 17th place. All of the remaining players are guaranteed a pay jump as they consolidate to the final two tables. Player Tags: Ivo Donev, Annette Obrestad, Peter Eastgate Tamas Lendvai EliminatedOct 05, '09 Tamas Lendvai moved all in from the cutoff for 245,000 and Peter Eastgate isolated all in from the small blind. Lendvai’s Q-J was dominated by Eastgate’s K-Q and it failed to connect, busting him in 25th place, with just 1:51 remaining on day. Player Tags: Peter Eastgate, Tamas Lendvai Peter Eastgate Doubles UpOct 05, '09
Eastgate raised to 55,000 and the big blind set him in for about 285,000 in chips. Eastgate made the call with A-K and that easily held against A-J to give him a stack of over 600,000 in chips. Player Tags: Peter Eastgate Level 3 Update -- Shaun Deeb Going BackwardsOct 02, '09 Blinds: 100-200 Players Remaining: 282 out of 305 (Unofficial) Average Chip Count: 32,000 Notable Eliminations: Asa Smith Hand of the Level: World Champion Moving On Up Thanks to a nice river value bet of 7,700 on a board reading Q The Team PokerStars Pro is now up to a very healthy 70,000 in chips. Left In The Deck:
The 8-Game tournament is getting closer and closer to the final table. Notables that remain include Huck Seed, David Williams, Greg Raymer and Joe Hachem. One person not in attendance and hasn’t been all day is Jean-Robert Bellande. According to his Twitter account, Bellande accidentally slept through his day 2 restart time and blinded out. “I just pulled a Vinny Vihn and slept through day 2 of my tourney. @dwpoker was calling my american tel to wake me. Using London tel :(” “I was short stacked w 4.5k so I just ran out of chips.Feel like I cheated Huck, Jeff L, and Chad Brown on our % swaps. So sorry guys. 0 chps”
Shaun Deeb is not having a great start to this tournament. When he first arrived, Deeb had apparently misplaced his tournament receipt and was therefore unable to prove he was playing today. After that ordeal was sorted out, Deeb sat down at the table and immediately began to get pummeled. His stack has taken quite the beating and he is now down to his last 8,500 in chips. Luckily for Deeb, he has picked up the pace online in the past few days to vault himself up to the no. 2 position in Card Player’s Online Player of the Year race.
