The WSOP Bracelet Peter Eastgate sold in eBay did not just interest poker fanatics and his fans. Poker Professional Player Antanas “Tony G” Guoga posted in his blog the WSOP bracelet to make a collar for his dog, Zasko, a German Shepherd. Although, it wasn't clear which bid was his.

Peter Eastgate wasn't the only one selling their precious WSOP bracelet on eBay. Seems like Poker Pro, T.J. Cloutier also sold the bracelet last January.
