2008 World Champion Peter Eastgate looking for another deep run

The defending champ Peter Eastgate is making a very good showing in the defense of his World Champion crown. He's currently at 180,000 chips, although he just lost a few chips in a recent hand.

Eastgate raised from early position to 3,500 and both blinds called. The flop was {Q-Spades}

and Eastgate's flop bet of 5,500 was check-raised all in by the small blind. Eastgate folded and was shown {7-Diamonds}

!

If we take a quick look at the success of defending champions, the last few years haven't been too fruitful for our champions.

Jerry Yang and Jamie Gold failed to match their spectacular runs of previous years, however Joe Hachem followed up his win in 2005 with a strong cash result for 238th place in 2006.

If Eastgate can better that, then his efforts will rival that of Greg Raymer who followed up his 2004 WSOP victory with a 25th place finish in 2005.
