Hand #119 - Scott Montgomery Eliminated in 5th Place ($3,096,768)

[user25067]

Ylon Schwartz has the button in Seat 3. Peter Eastgate makes another opening raise to 1,250,000, Scott Montgomery moves all in from the small blind, and Eastgate makes the call.

Montgomery {A-Diamonds}

Eastgate

The flop is {A-Clubs}

and Montgomery's cheering section erupts. The turn brings another ace, the {A-Spades}

making him trips and leaving Eastgate drawing to one six, Dennis Phillips claiming to have folded the other.

The river, though, is the utterly miraculous {6-Diamonds}

, Eastgate's lone out in the deck! His Danish cheering section once again breaks into their nonsensical "Ooba Ooba Ooba!" chant and rush the stage to embrace Eastgate as Montgomery exits the stage in fifth place. He'll take home $3,096,768 for his efforts.
