The 2009 PokerStars.com London EPT saw a quick but exciting heads-up battle between the 2008 WSOP Main Event Champion, Peter Eastgate and the chip leader coming into the final table Aaron Gustavson.
All the chips went into the middle of the table when Eastgate pushed with A-9 and was called by Gustavson while holding A-Q. With no help from the board, Gustavson’s hand held and he was awarded £850,000 to take home to Las Vegas. What will this drain of cash do to the English economy? Only time will tell my friends.
Meanwhile, Eastgate was awarded £530,000 for second place and even though the Dane didn’t win, his solid performance should go a ways to silence any of the usual doubters who stalk WSOP champions demanding they continually prove themselves or be cast into the shadows of one-hit wonders with the likes of Jamie Gold, and Vanilla Ice.
And because we like any excuse we can find to drop some dope beats here on the Cake Poker Blog, it’s time you stop collaborate and listen…
