$9M WSOP VICTORY!

If you had 9 million dollars what would you do? Well Im sure Peter Eastgate has had that question on his mind alot these last few months and now he actually has it. Picking up a cool $9 million dollar first place prize in the World Series Of Poker Main Event, Mr Eastgate has become the youngest ever to win the Main Event - breaking Hellmuths record that has stood for 20 years. He also joins the elite list of poker players and now ranks 5th on the list of money won in poker tournaments.

Previous to the WSOP Main Event, Eastgate, while a formidable online player was unknown to the rest of the poker world. That however has all changed since he busted Russian Ivan Demidov in heads up play to take the most prestigious poker event in the world.

Eastgate practically dominated the heads up period of the match with smart play and some dominating hands. The final hand was called all in by Demidov who sat nicely on two pair. Though like the rest of that game, Eastgate had him out classed and out gunned as he called and then laid down a 5 high straight. Id say congratulations, but I think he might be sick of hearing it!
