WSOP Finalists Sit Down with Card Player TVPlayers Share Their Thoughts After Watching it All Play Out on ESPN |

Of breaking Phil Hellmuth’s record to become the youngest player to ever win the main event, 2008 champion Peter Eastgate told Card Player TV, “It was like the sugar on the top.”
Now, we know the Dane is trying to improve his English, so we’ll cut him a little slack. He probably meant “cherry,” but we get the picture — it was pretty freaking sweet.
Along with the new world champion, Ryan Lucchesi of Card Player TV interviews final table participants Craig Marquis, Ylon Schwartz, Darus Suharto, and Ivan Demidov at Tuesday’s viewing party at the Lucky Strike Lanes in the Rio All-Suite Resort and Hotel. Watch the video now.
Marquis describes his “really emotional hand,” where he saw running cards cripple his flopped set to bust him in ninth place. Schwartz shares how happy he was that his big laydown was the right call, and also how incredulous he was that Planters didn’t recognize it as their “good instinct moment.” Don’t expect him to buy those nuts anytime soon.
Suharto goes through what he was thinking when he bluffed into Ivan Demidov’s flopped set, and Demidov shares his thought process when he four-bet his A-Q against Dennis Phillips’ A-K before the flop and then pushed all in after the flop in the biggest and most successful bluff of the final table.
