Ed De Haas Points Out Something For the Record

Team PokerNews player Mikkel Madsen raises to 35,000, Lee Childs reraises from the big blind to 100,000, and Madsen folds.

As Childs is collecting the pot, Ed De Haas says, "Let this go on record. This is the first time in history that a Scandanavian has ever folded to a reraise."

The Bubble Tournament Winner: Lee Dryer

We mentioned yesterday during the money bubble that there would be a nine-player tournament for the last nine players eliminated before the money in the Main Event. Well, today they had that event, and the winner is ...

Lee Dryer.

For coming so close to the $20,320 payday that 621st would have awarded, and rebounding the next day to defeat eight more bubble boys, Mr. Dryer receives a $10,000 entry into the 2008 WSOP Main Event, along with a year's supply of beer provided by Milwaukee's Best (which we heard amounts to four cases a month - or around 4 beers a day).

There was no word on what the bubble player received in the bubble tournament.

PokerNews got to talk to Lee in a video interview. Click here to check out the interview with Lee Dryer, along with all the other videos from the Main Event.
