Last Nov. 25, Peter Eastgate’s 2008 WSOP Main Event bracelet, which had been up for auction on eBay, sold for $147,500 after making 116 bids. The winning bid went to “7***l,” whose complete William Hill Poker Promotional Code identity has been protected per eBay privacy rules.

The winning buyer is without previous history with eBay. In its place, they bid nine times on Eastgate’s bracelet, which almost doubled in value in the final 24 hours of bidding. The victor has received no William Hill Poker Review feedback and had no bid withdrawals throughout the course of the sale. The final bid came in at 5:38am PT that day and the auction closed about a half hour later.

Eastgate put the coveted piece up for auction to benefit UNICEF. Earlier this year, the 2008 WSOP Main Event champ unexpectedly left from poker and instead sought retreat watching his home nation of Denmark battle it out in the World Cup. He was no show at this year’s WSOP. The initial price for the bracelet was $16,000 and, eight days after the auction started, the asking price skyrocketed into the six-figures.
