Phillips v. Eastgate

Dennis Phillips
Dennis Phillips
Dennis Phillips raised to 65,000 from middle position, and both Peter Eastgate (button) and Frank Rusnak (big blind) came along to the flop. It showed up {4-Clubs} {3-Clubs} {K-Spades}, and the first two players checked. Eastgate continued out with a bet of 105,000, Rusnak folded, and Phillips put in the call to see another card.

The turn revealed the {9-Clubs}, drawing another check from Phillips. Eastgate fired again, 175,000 this time, and Phillips quickly check-raised all in with a covering stack. Eastgate frowned and sent his cards sliding back into the muck. It's a great sight to watch these two 2008 finalists duking it out on the featured table, and it should make for some excellent television as well.
