Over 6,800 players. 4 months. 1 hostage crisis. The 2008 WSOP Main Event is finally heads-up.
More information to come, but it’s going to be Ivan Demidov (79,500,000) vs. Peter Eastgate (57,725,000).
No real shocker as these two looked the best and got the cards all day.
More to come…

At least a Canadian won’t win this year’s WSOP. We’re tired of those Junior Americans up north winning poker tournaments.
Having just lost something like 23 million chips a few hands earlier to Ivan Demidov, Scott Montgomery was down to around 7M and bound to go out soon. We just can’t see Montgomery patiently waiting for a monster. He’s the type of guy who would shove with one card and a pretzel if he could and say something with his Canadian accent like "Well I’m pretty sure you don’t have a pretzel so I know I have at least one live card even though a pretzel isn’t really a card eh but please don’t call but even if you do and I get knocked out I can probably afford to buy the Vancouver Canucks now."
So he shoved with A-3 and was called by Peter Eastgate‘s 6-6. Montgomery flopped an Ace and turning a set, but a 6 fell on the river giving Eastgate a boat.
Montgomery is gone in 5th place, banking $3,096,768.
