Second place, not first. That other guy won. I\’m sure we\’ll remember his name eventually …
\”This was a huge shot in the arm for the gambling community,\” said Mike Matusow to his table in the $10k Stud-8 World Championship, referring to a couple-million+ of anti-durrrr-bracelet sidebets.

Frankly I was kinda surprised to see Lederer so nervous. Would seem that he was the one guy who couldn\’t lose … you know, having the newest pro added to his team taking down an early WSOP donkament, for the first of what will likely be multiple bracelets.
@realkidpoker:
Congrats to Tom Dwan! We were all rooting for you… To come second! Wow I escaped. What a sweat that was.
Durr just doubled up and the rail cheered while most of the people in the stud 8 moaned and cried.
The atmosphere in the room is electric. So many of us have bets against Durrr winning. 3 left and we are sweating hard!
@realannieduke:
Players in the Stud 8 or better championship breathe a sigh of relief as Tom Dwan finishes second. Never a bigger swing in a $1500 than 2day
I\’m enjoying sweating the Durrr match mainly because I have no money on it:) Big swing for a bunch of my friends and relatives though.
Meanwhile, Huck Seed is apparently owed a refund. Though I suspect he might just let Dwan hold on to the $325k, figuring that a 2010 bracelet may be inevitable.
