Peter Eastgate Signs with Management and Marketing Company
As it seems with most up and coming young poker stars once a big win has been accomplished then the deals start rolling in. whether it be from big time poker websites, promotional, or just press opportunities, smart players try and have help weeding through what is good and what is bad for their career. One way to do this is to hire a management and marketing company to look out for your interests. This year’s World Series of Poker Main Event Champion, Peter Eastgate, has made this move, signing with Poker Royalty.
Poker Royalty will offer worldwide management and marketing representation for Eastgate in media, sponsorship, commercial endorsements, appearances and licensing. When Eastgate won the Main Event he took home a just over $9 million pay day. Poker Royalty will help him use his win to his advantage.
The Director of European Operations at Poker Royalty, Jim Erwood, commented: "Peter is the epitome of the young, intelligent and fearless online poker professional whose game has translated fantastically to the world of live tournament poker. It is a very unique opportunity for us, because he's a very marketable twenty-two year international player with $9,000,000 in the bank. Peter can afford to be very selective with the endorsement relationships he chooses and align himself with opportunities that suit him perfectly."
Eastgate can begin a long and successful career if it is managed and operated well. The new deal with Poker Royalty should help in that process.
