Peter Eastgate has won the 2008 WSOP's main event. At the final table he eliminated Ivan Demidov who finished 2nd and won an impressive $5,809,595. Eastgate took away a smashing $9,152,416, not bad at all for the 22 year old who became the youngest winner ever, breaking the record held by Phil Hellmuth Jr.

Here's a summary of the last hand they played :

Peter Eastgate has the button and limps in. Demidov checks his big blind. The flop comes : 2d Ks 3h.

Demidov checks, Eastgate quickly bets 1.25 million which Demidov calls instantly. On the turn comes an 4c. Demidov checks again, but Eastgate won't slow down and bets 2 million more. Demidov thinks for twenty seconds before he check-raises to 6 million. With that bet he committed half he's stack to that pot. This could be the end if Eastgate comes along.

Eastgate thinks for about 30 seconds before he desides to call the bet Demidov made. When he did, everyone in the room held their breath...

The river comes, its the 7s. Demidov moves all in with he's remaining chips and eastgate snap-calls. Is it over? Demidov show first, he got 2 pair : 4h 2h. Eastgate is next to show, and turns over Ad 5s...it's over! Eastgate made a straight and has been crowned the champion of the 2008 World Series Of Poker.
