was really hoping Dennis Phillips could score a win for the old guys. the young guys probably have no real appreciation for the accomplishment besides the money. Phillips seemed to be savoring the moment and had everyone he knew there to share it with him. dude booked 59 rooms for friends and family...$4.5million for third should cover it though

[WinJStar]

I wanted him to win too. Headsup begins at 10 pm.

Crap, is anyone listening to this?



Ivan Demidov 68,900,000
Peter Eastgate 68,000,000

Congratulations to Peter Eastgate, the 2008 WSOP Main Event Champion!

It took four months, 39 two-hour levels of play, and a 104-hand heads-up duel to crown our 2008 World Series of Poker Main Event Champion. Peter Eastgate's name will be the next to be immortalized on one of those grand 20'x20' photos that will hang around the circumference of the Amazon Room at next year's WSOP, and carved into the history books alongside so many of poker's greats.

Brunson. Moss. Ungar. Chan. Ferguson. Hellmuth. And now Eastgate, a 22-year old accountant-turned-poker pro from Denmark.

Speaking of Hellmuth, tonight Eastgate shattered a record that the Poker Brat has held for the last 19 years as the youngest WSOP Main Event winner in history. Eastgate is also the first Danish Main Event champion, as well as the fourth Dane to win a WSOP bracelet.

Soft-spoken and a man of few words, Eastgate offered praise for his final-table opponents and predicted that he'd be seeing many of them again on the tournament circuit in the months and years to come.

"I'm very proud and thank you all for coming," he said, smiling ever so slightly as he looked down at his new piece of jewelry.
