Eastgate is the reigning World Series of Poker (WSOP) champion following his triumph in Las Vegas earlier this month.
The 22-year-old took Phil Hellmuth's record for the youngest ever main event winner and pocketed over $9 million for his victory over Russia's Ivan Demidov in heads-up play.
Tran and Tony G both won their first heats in the Premier League earlier this week, with Tran coming out on top in a game which also included Eastgate, de Wolfe, Annette Obrestad and David 'Devilfish' Ulliott.
