Peter Eastgate has proven he has what it takes to be a big gun with another huge win taking down the $5k event at the 2009 EPT PokerStars Caribbean Adventure.
Eastgate's status of world champion has been solidified after winning the $5k EPT PCA event. After leaving his hotel room today
Eastgate noticed that it was a bit too cloudy for his taste and decided
to play the $5,000 side event. With all luck and skill and a little bit of "cloud intake to push him there" he again took down a major tournament.
The event saw 273 entries. When
the final table was down to five, Eastgate already had a commanding chip lead. Florian Langmann, who placed second in EPT London in
2007, battled Eastgate heads up. Eastgate's cards were as large as his stack; after getting all the money
in pre-flop Eastgate showed pocket kings to Langmann's jacks. The board was no help for Langmann, with Eastgates Kings, taking him to the crown.
Earlier Eastgate cashed in the PCA Main Event. With his strong performance of late, ThePlayr.com would like to ask: do we have a new Great Dane?
