He looks like this...

I read over on GeneBromberg's blog some of his observations of last night's ESPN coverage of the WSOP Main Event Final Table, and learned that a lot of the things I was thinking were at least crossing the mind of at least someone else on the planet. One thing that he said though that I have to give feedback to immediately was who Peter Eastgate looks like. I would have commented to Gene directly but trying to visit his blog directly is now an offense as deemed by the PROXY OVERLORDS, and thusly my name once again is showing up on the roster of the gambling degenerates to the management staff. Go figure... Anyway Gene and anyone who happens by, this is Peter Eastgate:



And this is who immediately came to mind, and I blurted it out to Big Red while we were watching the 2-hour ESPN coverage of the Final Table.














She laughed and said, " he DOES look like Malachi, from Children of the Corn! (also known in real-life as Courtney Gains, www.courtneygains.net)"










Sadly, as time wears on for the 22-year-old Poker Champ, his curly hair will fade over time. So, hang on to the PokerStars swag to keep your head warm in the future.

On the plus side the nickname "IceGate" for that steely expressionless stare is working for you. Outfit yourself with a pair of suspenders and a sharp blade for eliminating your poker table foes and your transformation will be complete.

By the way in the Children of the Corn shot from above, is that Phil Hellmuth hanging from the corn? Or is it just his record for being the youngest player to win the Main Event about to be burnt in effigy? : )

On a serious note, once again let me say "CONGRATULATIONS" to Peter Eastgate on his win of the World Series of Poker Main Event! You are indeed the World Poker Champ. I wish you continued success.
