Peter Eastgate, winner of the 2008 WSOP Main Event decided to put his bracelet up for auction at eBay, because it was "just lying around collecting dust," Eastgate said.

Though it might sound ignorant and infuriating to some to sell a piece of history, a well earned relic of the greatest achievment a poker player can have, it's not that selfish as it seems at first. Eastgate explains he will donate 100% of the profits to UNICEF.

"Of course, I am still extremely proud of my title to this day. But the bracelet itself, I am never wearing, since I really don’t wear any jewelry. So I thought that by giving away the bracelet and watches, a lot more people will hopefully be able to benefit from the items." - Eastgate says. The news is debated at Two Plus Two already, forum members are generally happy with the retired WSOP champion's decision, and think it's the best use for a WSOP bracelet. Well, much better than having it collect dust on a shelf as they say.

You can find the eBay page of the bracelet here. The bidding starts at $16,000, and there'a already a bid. We are very curios about the outcome of the auction. Many suggest a poker room such as PokerStars will buy it and offer it as the main prize of a heavily promoted tournament. 9 days, and it will turn out.
