Eastgate is the sole representative from western Europe at the final table and is looking to become the youngest man in history to win the Main Event.

The man from Odense only started playing poker in 2005 and initially concentrated in online games.

But he has made something of an impact since stepping into tournament play with a final table showing at last year's Irish Open where he finished ninth for $46,714.

He also cashed at February's European Poker Tour event in Copenhagen, taking 32nd place in the Scandinavian Open.

Eastgate has made two appearances in the Poker Million heats, finishing second in & third last year to just miss out on qualification on both occasions.

He says: "The way I'm going to prepare myself for the final table is by studying the videos and preparing myself mentally for the big pressure on the 9th of November. If I came first it would change my life for good."
