On Monday, 2008 World Series of Poker Main Event champion Peter Eastgate became the newest member of Team Betfair Poker.
Eastgate, who is now living in London, retired from poker in 2010 but is now back in full force, and will make his first appearance wearing a Betfair logo at the 2012 WSOP Main Event in July.
Eastgate won the WSOP Main Event in 2008 and has earned almost $11m from live tournaments to this day.
-I had a 10 month hiatus where I didn't play poker and then I felt the lust to play poker again because I still enjoy the game and there's still a lot of challenges to the game.
-I'm not by any means the best player in the world so there's still a lot of challenges, Eastgate told.
