Edward Ihre MD of Ladbrokes would like to be one of the first to congratulate Peter Eastgate on his amazing and historical win at this years World Series Of Poker. And when all things are considered perhaps Ed is one of the first people that should do so! Afterall, it was with Ladbrokespoker.com that Peter came to Vegas to play in the main event as part of Team Ladbrokes. And it was this ticket that sealed Peter's fate and propelled him into the history books as the youngest player ever to win the main event and a WSOP bracelet.

Edward commented: "We brought Peter and 119 other players (Team Ladbrokes) out to Las Vegas to play in the WSOP main event this year and by that fact alone we were instrumental in him making it to the final table. Peter was very much a front-runner from the early stages of the main event within Team Ladbrokes and by the latter stages of the tournament a very likely contender to make it to the final table. In fact there were two other Ladbrokes Poker players that we'd hoped would make it through, one of which was our sponsored player Jeff Kimber who unfortunately finished in 120th place winning $41,815."

"One of the primary objectives for Ladbrokes Poker this year was to provide a poker experience for our qualifiers unrivalled by any other operator and to produce a WSOP final tablist. The many positive comments that followed the trip proved that the former was achieved and now news of Peter Eastgate's win is the icing on the cake."

Edward Ihre finished by saying: "Peter is definitely the most famous man in Denmark today and by the end of this week, thanks to ESPN coverage, he is probably going to be one of the most famous Danes in the world and I am glad to say that Ladbrokes Poker made it possible; he came out to Vegas with us and won the biggest tournament in the world. We wish him all the best!”

Ladbrokes Poker are renowned for providing some of the best packages to the WSOP and usually start running qualifiers in January, so that you too could follow in Peter Eastgate's footsteps next year.
