| Peter Eastgate is the 2008 WSOP Main Event Champion! ![]() Eastgate hit an ace-to-five straight on the turn and instantly called an allin from Ivan Demidov on the river to win the title and $9,152,416. Demidov held two pairs, twos and fours. The previous youngest champion was 11-time gold bracelet winner Phil Hellmuth, who was 24 when he won the tournament in 1989. "It feels good to beat Phil's record," Eastgate said after taking pictures with stacks of $100 bills and his firsst WSOP bracelet. "I was not focused on the record that I could break, I was just focused on the game." Demidov, a 27 year old poker player from Moscow, took home $5,809,595 for second place, roughly $3.3 million less than Eastgate. For Demidov it's been a great run that included final table finishes at the WSOPE (3rd Place) and the WSOP. This won't be the last we hear of Ivan Demidov. Congratulations to Peter Eastgate. You can play with both Peter Eastgate and Ivan Demidov exclusively at Pokerstars.

i was hoping they would show more than 3 hands between them, i thought it was rather boring, especially since it will rerun all year
