Peter Eastgate Becomes Youngest WSOP Champion!
History was made at the Rio Casino in Las Vegas, when 23-year old Peter Eastgate from Denmark won the 2008 WSOP Main Event Championship. The young Scandi broke Phil Hellmuth's 19-year old record when he beat Ivan Demidov heads up for the victory. Peter Eastgate won $9,152,416, while Demidov collected $5,809,595 for second place.
Action was paused once Dennis Phillips busted out in third place. The final two returned on Monday night for the showdown. Before cards went in the air, there was a Player of the Year ceremony honoring Erick Lindgren for his sensational overall performance at the 2008 WSOP. Everyone's favorite FullTilt pro finally won his first bracelet in $5,000 Limit/No Limit Hold'em. He cashed five times at the 2008 WSOP and made three final tables overall including a fourth place finish in $5,000 No Limit 2-7 Draw Lowball and a valiant third place finish in $50,000 H.O.R.S.E.. In case you were wondering, Lindgren also had a 10th and 18th place finish this summer.
"This is awesome. I can't believe all of you are here to watch poker!" joked Lindgren. "One of my best friends, Daniel Negreanu, have won this award. It's truly an honor."
