Over his somewhat limited career, Eastgate has amassed $ 10,918,443 in live tournament earnings, though he is also among the most prolific online players. 

$661,022 was up for grabs in Event #56, enough money to propel Eastgate from number 15 on the All Time Money List of poker earnings to number 12.  He would leap over 2010 WSOP winner Jonathan Duhamel, fellow Dane Gus Hansen and Allen Cunningham. 

2798 players entered this event.  2nd place will pay out $410,517.  The remaining 19 players were guaranteed at least $18,924.
