Eastgate is no doucher man, he was just stuck in the highlight. It caught up to him. Eastgate is one of the best young gun out there. I welcome his return. He probably now realize that it was a bad mistake to sell that wsop bracelet though.i think eastgate is a bigtime doucher
Yeah, I don't see what Eastgate has done to be called a douche! Seems like an ok guy to me.
He done exactly what he needed to. He needed to take a break and live his life. Are you personally offended that he basically admitted he couldn't handle the instant fame and fortune the WSOP win brought him? does he owe anyone, or the poker community, anything? Absolutely not.He retired last July. How can u call that a comeback?
"...I wanted to stop playing poker and catch my breath and find out who I am..." A freaking douchebag! Come on, u knew it.
"...For almost 2 years I was in a constant spotlight, travelling from poker tournament to poker tournament, doing thousands of interviews and never had a chance to catch my breath..."
Why do lucky people always make beautiful things look obnoxious?
I SIMPLY HATE THAT!

Some pro poker players hate the media attention and unwanted fame; they'd rather just play poker,like Phil Ivey. Is he a douche? Nah, thought not.
Outside of poker, take singers for example. How many artists sing about wishing they had it like before, when their career was just about the music, not the money? Sports players saying they would rather just play the game rather than worry about interviews, paparazzi and money.
Why do jealous people make good, successful, but sometimes vulnerable, people out to be the opposite of what they are? Because they are the real douche's.
FYPI'll explain poker in one word: money. Everyone wants to make some more of it, and only some will.
