I don't know how many hands he was playing online, but Eastgate admitted after his ME win that he had only been playing poker for 3 years prior, and the first two years he said he was a losing or barely break-even player. He only started turning a profit the year he won the ME. Dennis Phillips said in a post-ME interview that Eastgate was a good kid and obviously had skills, but came across as inexperienced at the time, and Phillips was quite surprised that he won. I think just about everyone pegged Demidov as the best player at the final table that year. [/QUOTE]
