World Series of Poker Final Table
 

I've been watching it off and on since 5 of 20 or so. Most of the legends got knocked out by noob web geeks though. Not as exciting if the Pros aren't there. :(

Peter Eastgate has the button. He limps in and Ivan Demidov checks the big blind. The flop comes down 2d Ks 3h. Action is checked to Eastgate, who bets 1.25 million. Demidov calls, then checks again when the 4c hits the turn. Eastgate doesn't slow down, firing out a bet of 2 million more. Demidov counts to twenty, then check-raises to 6 million. With that bet, he has committed half of his stack to the pot. It could be the point of no return if Eastgate comes along. Eastgate thinks things over for about thirty seconds and then calls. When he does, everyone in the gallery rises expectantly to their feet. The river is the 7s. Demidov announces all in and Eastgate snap-calls. Could this be it? Demidov shows first, tabling 4h 2h for two pair, fours and deuces. Eastgate is next to show, turning Ad 5s over -- he's made a wheel! It's all over! Ivan Demidov has been eliminated in second place, earning $5,809,595 for his remarkable run through this tournament. Peter Eastgate has been crowned the champion of the 2008 World Series of Poker's Main Event. He is the youngest ever, breaking the record held by Phil Hellmuth, Jr. for the last 19 years.
