Eastgate Surrenders

On one of the very first hands of the day, reigning WSOP Main Event champion Peter Eastgate bet 70,000 on a three-way flop of {10-Spades} {K-Hearts} {7-Diamonds}. He was called by the player on the button, Ben Lamb.

The turn was the {9-Clubs}, causing Eastgate to slow down with a cautious check. Lamb eyed Eastgate's stack briefly before betting 160,000. Eastgate couldn't fold his cards faster than he did.
