The original World Series of Poker was started by Tom Morehead of the Riverside casino in Reno and was an invitational event. The set of tournaments the World Series of Poker (WSOP) would evolve to was the brainchild of Las Vegas legend, casino owner, and poker player Benny Binion as well as his two sons Jack and Ted.

Primarily an online poker player with Ladbrokes Poker, Peter Eastgate is considered an internet poker professional in his
country. He enjoys short handed and heads-up high limit cash games, somewhere in the level of $200/$400.
Eastgate has finished well in quite a few live tournaments but his online playing is just as formidable as his offline playing. He's also played in the Poker Millions heats but he did not qualify both times he tried. He placed 32nd in the 2008 EPT Scandinavian Open in February 2008 earning $16,416 and placed 9th in the first Irish Open in April 2007 earning $46,714. At 22 years of age, Eastgate became the youngest player to ever win the World Series of Poker Main Event when he won the 2008 WSOP over Ivan Demidov. He pocketed $9.15 Million for the first place finish. Previously, Phil Hellmuth had been the youngest player ever to win the main event. He was 24 when he won in 1989.
