- The Poker Show Continues to Bring You the Big Names From Vegas
as Jesse and Matt Catch up With 2008 World Series of Poker Main Event Winner

Twenty-three-year-old Dane Peter Eastgate became the youngest winner of
the WSOP main event last year and this week he'll be talking to The Poker
Show's Jesse May about the pressure of defending his title, playing in the
