Champ Vs. Champ

2008 WSOP Main Event champ Peter Eastgate raised to 44,000 from under the gun, and the table folded back around to 2005 WSOP Main Event champ Joe Hachem who called from the big blind.

The flop came {2-Clubs}{5-Hearts}{8-Clubs}, and both players checked. The turn was the {2-Spades}. Hachem bet 40,000, and Eastgate made the call.

The river was the {K-Clubs}. This time Hachem fired out a bet of 120,000, and Eastgate again called.

Hachem showed {5-Spades}{5-Clubs} for the flopped set and turned boat, and Eastgate mucked. That hand takes Hachem up to 800,000, while Eastgate now has 555,000.
