Your opinion on the WSOP
The most hyped WSOP Final Table ever is finally over and 22-year old Danish player Peter Eastgate defeated Russia's Ivan Demidov, winning $9,152,416 (the second largest prize in the history of poker tournaments). With this achievement, he's also became the youngest player to ever win Main Event winner, knocking Phill Hellmuth Jr's record of 24 years of age that he got in 1989.

Let us know what you think about the WSOP Main Event in our feedback thread: Your opinion on the WSOP.
