As a Scandinavian resident myself, I feel the joy spreading from Denmark where a country has blown up the Poker table world. Peter Eastgate, and his now legendary poker run continues as the 22-year-old from Denmark systematically won the World Series of Poker (WSOP). With the victory, Eastgate is now the proud owner of $9.1 million dollars. That could buy him a large cruise ship full of custom poker tables.

Peter played great and deserved this win. In the WSOP Main Event Finale, he played his way into the final 2 going up against a strong opponent, Ivan Demidov. He managed to trap the Russian many times during heads up and simply outplayed the world’s largest poker table field. Peter played with patience. Patience is the key in a tournament that now spans over 4 months. Patience is something that must be trained and practiced seeing hand after hand come and go; this takes time.

The zero to hero stories of out of the blue experienced poker table players with vast poker tables skills all have similar beginnings. You buy a 12 pack of beer invite over your buddies, and play a round of Saturday night poker. This is where you bluff your friends, raise them all-in, and get the green bills on the table. What makes these experiences so special is that you bond with your friends, but you learn their personalities too. Are they cheap cheaters, straight up liars, or cold hard card killers? Why not go out and buy yourself a custom poker table, a case of beer, some Wal-Mart poker chips, and get down to business. You could be the next Peter Eastgate.
