What made Peter Eastgate a winner at WSOP 2008?

Fresh from his victory at the World Series of Poker 2008 Peter Eastgate has been talking about his success and how he believes he had an edge over his competitors. Aside from the fact he is now an experienced poker player and aware of all the major strategies and situations which may arise, he believes psychology has a major part to play in the poker industry of today.<br /> <br /> Eastgate has been talking about how he believes entering the mind of your opponent is vital to short, medium and long-term success. And knowing how your opponent will play before they often know is a skill which many seek but few find. It has always been thought that psychology was the missing element for many good poker players around the world and the recent World Series of Poker tournament has strengthened this argument.<br /> <br /> While fame and fortune now awaits Peter Eastgate as the youngest ever World Series of Poker champion, many more poker players are readying themselves for World Series of Poker 2009 and a chance to emulate the man who has put his name in the history books. Knowing how your opponent plays and they react to certain situations seems as though it may be the key.
