You Can't Win Them All...

As I wrote in an earlier post, the former world champion, Peter Eastgate, played a good tournament. However, he experienced a bit of a cooler when he flopped a set (3 of a kind) and his opponent made a straight on the turn to knock Eastgate out of the tournament in 23rd place. He won 80.000DKR (about $15,000). The first prize of 3.6M DKR was won by a Swedish guy called Anton Wigg.

I have to say that Peter Eastgate keeps on impressing me. A lot of world champions we never hear from again but Eastgate's results speaks for themselves! In January 2010 he came in 9th at the EPT Deauville ($100k), France. In October 09 he came in second at the EPT London ($843k) and in January 09 he won the Pokerstars Caribbean Adventure worth $343k. But of course the WSOP Main Event victory where he won $9.1M remains his biggest win!
