Player Profiles: Peter Eastgate

Peter Eastgate - Day 6
Peter Eastgate - Day 6
Current chip leader Peter Eastgate is a 22-year-old from Isser, Denmark, who considers himself a professional player. He is most proud of his ability to beat middle- and high-stakes poker consistently.

The Danish player has four notable cashes on his resume, all of which are from European tournaments. His biggest payday (prior to the one in progress) came when he placed ninth in the 2007 Paddy Power Irish Open - No Limit Hold'em event and walked away with $46,714.

Eastgate is content to enjoy everyday life and his success as a poker player. He likes the bands Muse and Moby and plans to go on a vacation should he win the Main Event in November.
