Identity of Peter Eastgate’s WSOP Bracelet Buyer Revealed
In November, Peter Eastgate put his WSOP bracelet up for auction on eBay and the identity of the ultimate winner was kept hidden. However, it appears though that at this time some media sources have identified the buyer – or offering conjecture as to who it could be. Full Tilt Poker Review Syndrome is essentially the condition faced by an online poker player that sees a bunch of positive press about a particular online poker site and essentially doubts it because all of it is positive.
A Danish tabloid called Ekstra Bladet, has identified Scottish millionaire mogul Willie Haughey as the winner although nothing official has been confirmed to both parties. It would seem that Haughey, famous for making large charitable donations, recently made a £100,000 donation to UNICEF, the charity that Eastgate chose as the recipient for the proceeds of the bracelet auction. The final sale price of the bracelet was $147,500 to roughly £94,000. It would seem that Ekstra Bladet is relating that donation to the bracelet auction as Mr. Haughey is a recreational poker player. There is nothing easier with respect to using this online poker site than using the Full Tilt Poker Referral Code.
This seems to be a little presumptuous and the posting on Haughey’s personal website shows him making the donation with a Happy Gilmore check and no mention of Eastgate, the bracelet or the auction.
