We'll Have a New Champion; Eastgate Out

Peter Eastgate - Eliminated
Billy Kopp came in with a raise to 105,000 from early position, and Dennis Phillips made the call in the next seat over. Action came around to Peter Eastgate in the small blind, and he moved all in for 445,000 total. Both Kopp and Phillips eventually called to put Eastgate at risk.

The board ran out {6-Diamonds} {A-Hearts} {4-Hearts} {J-Hearts} {3-Hearts} with the two live players check-checking it all the way down. Phillips missed everything, and Eastgate tabled {A-Diamonds} {J-Spades} for top two. It was no good though; Kopp showed up {8-Spades} {8-Hearts}, having rivered the winning four-flush.

That's the end of the road for defending champion Peter Eastgate. He put on a great show, and he seemed to have the support of the masses as he made his second consecutive deep run, but he just couldn't get anything going today. His quest for a legendary back-to-back championship will come up about 75 places short.
