The next elimination came when Milhomen raised from an early position to 230,000.  Everyone folded until the action reached Peter Eastgate who was on the big blind.  After going into the tank to what seemed like an age he decided to put Milhomen to the test by moving all in.  Milhomen didn’t seem happy but reluctantly decided to call.  It turned out to be a race with Milhomen having pocket eight’s to Eastgate’s The first four cards down missed both players although Eastgate picked up more outs with a straight draw.  The river card brought the giving Eastgate the pot, eliminating Milhomen into 6th place.

Heads up only lasted a couple of hands, the first Gustavson pushed Eastgate off the pot taking a big chunk out of his stack.  On the next hand all the chips went in pre flop with Eastgate being dominated holding against The board blanked for both players meaning Gustavson was the EPT UK champion winning £850,000.
