Newly crowned WSOP Main Event Champion Peter Eastgate began playing online at PokerStars after graduating from high school in his native Denmark, and has been playing at a professional level ever since.

He already had several impressive results on the live tournament scene before this year’s World Series, despite not being a regular live player.

He made the final table of the Irish Poker Open in 2007, finishing in 9th place for a cash of $46,714.

This was followed by a top 30 finish at the PokerStars European Poker Tour Copenhagen event earlier this year, worth another $16,610. But this was nothing compared to what he was to win in Las Vegas.

The PokerStars Six man was one of the favorites going into November’s Final Table, a prediction that was soon to become a reality.

After four hours of heads-up action against fellow PokerStars player Ivan Demidov, Peter finally achieved what all poker players dream of - the most prestigious Championship title in the game, the bracelet and $9,152,416 in cash.

He also enters the record books, as the youngest ever Main Event winner at just 22.

With his total live tournament winnings currently at $9,245,611, Peter is also now one of the highest earning players in the history of the game - 11th place on the all time money list.

Peter is clearly a man wise beyond his years when it comes to money management.

He says that he won’t be splashing out on expensive things or living a crazy life now that he’s a multi-millionaire - he’ll be investing the money instead.

With what looks like a long and healthy career in poker ahead of him, they’ll no doubt be even more money for investment on its way in the future.
