Morning Series Winner off to a Fast Start

Ken Eastwood is taking full advantage of his freeroll entry into today's Main Event, playing often and play fast. He recently took down a three-way pot against Michael Rosenfield and Stewart Scott to move to 28,000 in chips.

On a board showing {A-Spades} {7-Diamonds} {5-Spades}, Eastwood check-raised a 1,500 bet made by Rosenfield, making it 5,000 to go. Rosenfield made the call and on the turn came the {9-Hearts}.

Eastwood then moved all in, putting Rosenfield to a decision for all of his chips. Rosenfield promptly folded, opting to live to see another flop, and Eastwood claimed the pot.

Eastwood won the Morning Series freeroll tournament that was hosted by the Crown throughout the week and his prize was a seat into the PokerNews Cup Main Event.
