A 22-year-old Danish poker professional has won the World Series of Poker and become the youngest champion in the history of the no-limit Texas Hold ‘em main event.

Peter Eastgate hit an ace-to-five straight on the turn and called an all-in bet from Ivan Demidov on the river for the last of Demidov’s chips early Tuesday. Demidov held two pair, twos and fours.

Eastgate built a 7-to-1 chip advantage earlier by sniffing out two bluffs by Demidov for big pots.

Eastgate broke Phil Hellmuth’s record as youngest champion of the tournament. Hellmuth was 24 when he won in 1989.
