The two high stakes poker players will be used in Denmark to promote the site and an exclusive Danish WSOP promotion where players can win the opportunity to live and play in the same house as the two champions during the tournament this Summer.
Peter Eastgate became the youngest ever WSOP Main Event Winner when he won over $9m in 2008. After taking a ten month hiatus from the game in 2010 he sold his bracelet to raise funds for UNICEF and raised $147,000. He came back to the world of poker in February 2011 at the NBC Heads Up Championship and is now proud to be part of the Betfair Poker family.
The two players are regular high stake players on and offline and will bring yet more experience to the growing Betfair stable of pros which also includes John Tabatabai and Hans Vogl.
Peter Weinreich, Betfair Danish country manager commented ” We hope their expertise and popularity in the poker community will ensure a positive relationship for both parties”.
