One of our other world champions in the Clubs Bracket, Peter Eastgate, has neatly dispatched his first round opponent. Bertrand "ElkY" Grospellier was down to 12,000 chips and put them all at risk after Eastgate opened the button. Eastgate called with {A-Clubs}

{A-Clubs}

{10-Diamonds}

, a dominating favorite over ElkY's {A-Diamonds}

{A-Diamonds}

{3-Clubs}

. There were plenty of chop possibilities as the board develoepd {A-Spades}

{A-Spades}

{Q-Hearts}

{9-Hearts}

{K-Hearts}

. ElkY could win outright with any three; any nine, queen or king would chop the pot.

It wasn't to be. The river fell {8-Spades}

{8-Spades}

to send Eastgate through to the second round.
