Eastgate Versus Demidov Tonight on PokerStarsPeter Eastgate and Ivan Demidov Heads Up All Over Again Tonight |
|
All eyes are on last year’s World Series of Poker main event champion Peter Eastgate and runner-up Ivan Demidov tonight at 6 p.m. (ET) at PokerStars.com as the two sit down for a “deja vu” style battle. The online event will replicate the exact circumstances of 2008, all in the name of charity.
The last time these two faced each other at a final table, it took more than 15 hours to play out, plus their heads up saw the biggest blind level in WSOP history when it reached level 39 with a whopping big blind of one million in chips.
Eastgate will once again begin the heads-up with 80,300,000 in chips, and Demidov will get a second chance to prove his worth as he begins with 56,600,000. The blinds will start off at 120,000-240,000 with a 30,000 ante.
The winner will have the experience of seeing $10,000 go to their chosen charity. Last year’s Danish champ, Eastgate has chosen the Danish Refugee Council, while Russian Demidov hopes to be making a donation to The Hospice Charity Fund “Vera” INN.
All the action can be watched live on the PokerStars client.
