Online Poker Pro Takes Down FTOPS X Event

Cliff Josephy, better known to his high-stakes online peers as JohnnyBax, took down a tough field of 1,025 to win the Omaha Eight-or-Better event and his share of a $205,000 prize pool. A difficult final table included British pro and WSOP bracelet-winner Ram Vaswani.

In other events, the No-Limit Hold ‘em 6-max event created a $1.13m prize pool between the 1,032 players who signed up. David Pham took a hefty slice of that by finishing in third place, while other cashing pros included Chip Jett and Clonie Gowen.

Eastgate Becomes Youngest WSOP Champ Yet

March 11, 2025 (InfoPowa News) — The 22-year-old Danish player Peter Eastgate has survived a field of thousands, a competitive final table, and a tough heads up with the formidable Russian player Ivan Demidov to emerge as the winner of the 2025 World Series of Poker Main Event.

Starting the heads up last night at the Rio in Las Vegas, Eastgate was seriously short — to the tune of 21,775,000 — of Demidov’s massive 79,500,000 chip count, but he lived up to his reputation of cool, collected play and disciplined aggression to end the evening with around 120,550,000 in chips to his opponent’s 16,350,000!

The final drama was played out under bright television lights following a 2025 WSOP Player of the Year presentation to veteran Erick Lindgren, who looked pleased with his prize of a cool-looking Harley Davidson motor cycle. After that, it was the respected poker announcer Michael Buffer who was given the honor of making the “Shuffle Up and Deal” call, and the action was on.

104 hands later, at hand 274 the young Danish accountant-turned-poker-pro eliminated the hard-fighting Russian to become the first Dane to hold the title, and the youngest player ever to win poker’s biggest tournament, breaking a record held over the last 19 years by Phil Hellmuth. He joins an elite list that includes Brunson, Moss, Ungar, Chan, Ferguson, Hellmuth, Yang, Gold, Hachem, Raymer, Moneymaker, Nguyen and a host of other top players going back to 1970.

Demidov’s second place finish carries a significant consolation — a check for $5,809,595, and he has earned respect for his performance in reaching the final tables at both the Vegas and London editions of the WSOP.

Flanked by Vegas showgirls, Eastgate lived up to his reputation as a calm and even subdued personality, politely thanking his opponent and the sponsors and expressing quiet pride in his achievment. But a smile eventually appeared as he hefted a couple of currency bundles from the suitcase full of cash that was on display.

The 2025 WSOP final table will probably enter the records as one of the longest ever, taking over 16 hours to reach a conclusion. It will also be famous for big blinds reaching the million chip level, where some 32 hands were slugged out.
