The railers had barely settled themselves down after dinner when their entertainment was cut short owing to Peter Eastgate's total lack of chips, but there was excitement enough in the couple of post-dinner big hands to make this a heads-up to remember.
Young American Aaron Gustavson started the day as massive chip leader and never looked back. He played impeccably, and got it admirably quietly. Even in collecting his trophy he just smiled politely, and we approve of that sort of behaviour. Reigning world champion Peter Eastgate, though he's proved himself to be far from a one-hit wonder, will have to make do with second place for once, as this title belongs to Gustavson.
Many congratulations to all our finalists, and from PokerNews.com in London, it's over and out.

Peter Eastgate raised the button and Aaron Gustavson called. They saw a flop.
Flop:
Gustavson check-called 370,000 from Eastgate.
Turn:
Gustavson check-called 725,000 from Eastgate. We're spotting a pattern here.
River:
Gustavson checked again and Eastgate bet 1,135,000. This time, though, Gustavson thought about it for a while -- and then raised to 3.3 million.
Eastgate tanked up for some considerable time, an incredibly intense look on his face -- with around half his stack already invested in the pot, it was clearly a tough decision.
He folded. "Nice bluff," he laughed as he sat back in his chair.
Gustavson - 16,580,000
Eastgate - 5,360,000
