Nov.12.2008 22 year-old wins World Series of Poker and $9 million
Oh you know how I love people younger than me with infinitely more wealth and success. Well, now we have a 22 year-old poker player added to that list.
A 22-year-old Danish poker professional won the World Series of Poker early Tuesday, turning a wheel straight on the last hand to become the youngest champion in the history of the no-limit Texas Hold ‘em main event.
Peter Eastgate hit an ace-to-five straight on the turn and instantly called an all-in bet from Ivan Demidov on the river to win the title and $9,152,416. Demidov held two pair, twos and fours.
The previous youngest champion was 11-time gold bracelet winner Phil Hellmuth, who was 24 when he won the tournament in 1989.
“It feels good to beat Phil’s record,” Eastgate said after taking pictures with stacks of $100 bills and his new gold bracelet. “I was not focused on the record that I could break, I was just focused on the game.”
There is no singular money-generating thing that bothers me quite as much as poker. Well, poker and Web sites. Because holy shit does it get annoying to see how every good idea I’ve ever had get turned into a Web site sometime a couple months later. Which is why I’m left with this soupy drek I write every day. If I saw Facebook’s Mark Zuckerberg on the street, I would kick him right in the head of his cock.
Anyway so yeah he’s $9 million richer. Whatever, I found a Junior Mint on the floor and I ate it. So we’re pretty even, I’d say.

Oct.03.2008 Jennifer Tilly is a 50 year old poker player
I don’t know why, but I’ve always had a major thing for Jennifer Tilly (if you don’t know her, she was in the lesbian crime drama Bound, Bride of Chucky, the voice of Bonnie on Family Guy, Stuart Little, and a lot of other stuff). Well now, it appears as though she’s out of the film world and focusing mainly on her…professional poker career?
Jennifer may have seemed like a fish out of water when she took home the gold bracelet in the 2005 World Series of Poker Ladies No-Limit Hold’em event, but she would prove later that year that she was no one-hit-wonder with her first place victory at the World Poker Tour Ladies Invitational. On June 27, 2005, Tilly won a World Series of Poker bracelet (and $158,625) in the Ladies’ No-Limit Texas Hold ‘Em event, outlasting 600 other players. She followed up this accomplishment on September 1, 2005 by also winning the third World Poker Tour Ladies Invitational Tournament held at the Bicycle Casino in Los Angeles. Tilly has appeared in the GSN Poker Royale series. She appeared in the third season of Poker Superstars but was eliminated in the preliminary round.
In a television interview, Tilly stated that at this point in her career she is more interested in pursuing poker than acting. As of 2008 her live tournament winnings exceed $450,000. Tilly also appears in the World Series of Poker Tournament of Champions 2007 Edition video game (along with current boyfriend, Phil Laak) that was released in 2007 by Activision.
I had no idea. I’d like to believe that it’s because she’s so smart and so crafty but, let’s be honest, if you were a guy in sunglasses with that pictured above sitting across from you, I’d imagine you’d probably be a little distracted. It was probably unfair though for her to break out the hose while “Pour Some Sugar on Me” played during the 2007 World Series of Poker tournament.
Most interesting part though…
She is currently dating poker professional Phil “Unabomber” Laak and is nicknamed “The Unabombshell” within the poker circuit. Laak is 14 years younger than Tilly.
Yes, two big WTFs there. Not only is she dating this asshole, but she’s FIFTY. That’s the most mindboggling thing I’ve heard in a while. She must do quite a bit of both stretching and kicking to stay in that kind of shape.
