Dennis Phillips has the button in Seat 1. Peter Eastgate opens for 1,500,000 and Ylon Schwartz makes the call.

The flop is {K-Hearts} {8-Hearts} {2-Spades} and both players quickly check. The turn falls the {K-Diamonds}. Schwartz checks, Eastgate bets 1,750,000 and Schwartz calls. The river is the {5-Diamonds}. Schwartz checks again, Eastgate bets 4.6 million, and after a short think, Schwartz moves all in for an additional 11,200,000. Eastgate makes the call.

Schwartz {A-Hearts} {10-Clubs}
Eastgate {5-Clubs} {5-Spades}

It's all over for Schwartz, Eastgate taking it down with a rivered full house. Schwartz exits the final table in fourth place, earning $3,774,974 worth of "cheese" for an impressive performance.

And, of course, we're treated to another rousing rendition of the "Ooba Ooba" song, led by Jesper Hougaard and Eastgate's spirited entourage.
