Spoiler alert: World Series of Poker winner is...

If you're planning on watching the World Series of Poker show tonight, click away quickly...

Peter Eastgate became the youngest person ever to win the World Series of Poker, taking down Ivan Demidov about an hour ago, at 2:42 a.m. Las Vegas time.

The Dane won $9.1 million, winning with an Ace-through-5 straight against Demidov's two pair, twos and fours. (I'm leaving their pictures off in case to avoid a visual spoiler.)

ESPN is doing a quick live-to-tape edit today; looks like they'll have about 14 hours to get this portion done. The final table ended early Monday morning, and that airs at 9 p.m.; the final two airs at 10 p.m. A preview show airs at 8.

Dennis Phillips, the chip leader going in, finished third. David Chino Rheem got knocked out in seventh, which I posted about earlier.
