WSOP 2008 Champ New Record

[Eric Draven]

He becomes the youngest player ever to win it, wow 9 million, and 2nd place didn't do too bad either with 5 million, I was personally hoping that CHINO would win, but oh well!

Chino palyed horribly at the final table...

Demidov bluffs too much for live play... but I thought he would have learned that at the WSOPE... oh well.

And if you bet on Eastgate (like I did), you're a little happier today. :dance:

Yeah what were the odds on him, and how much you win?

And yeah I can't wait to see how Chino collapsed!

I got 8:1 on Eastgate, which was awesome value considering he had 80% of the chip leader's stack to start, and Phillips was 3:1 or something like that.

Didn't have much down, and I spread it out over 3 guys, but I did peg the winner.

The last hand (blinds 500K/1M, 100K ante):

Peter Eastgate (120.55 million) has the button and limps in.
Ivan Demidov (16.35 million) checks the big blind.

Flop: 2d Ks 3h
Demidov checks to Eastgate, who bets 1.25 million. Demidov calls.

Turn: 4c
Demidov Checks. Eastgate fires out a bet of 2 million.
Demidov check-raises to 6 million. Eastgate calls.

River: 7s
Demidov moves all in and Eastgate snap-calls.

Demidov shows 4h 2h for two pair, fours and deuces.
Eastgate shows Ad 5s for a five-high straight, and wins the WSOP.

Demidov won $5,809,595.
Eastgate won $9,152,416.

They played 105 hands heads up and ESPN saw fit to show 2 hands - 2 freaking hands!
