Milwaukee's Best Light to Host WSOP Bubble Playoff

Milwaukee's Best Light has announced it will host the World Series of Poker (WSOP) Main Event's first 'bubble' playoff, a single-table poker event for the final nine players eliminated out of the money in this year's Main Event.

On August 5, at 13:30, nine players will be given a second chance at a payday, this time in the form of a seat at the 2007 WSOP Main Event, valued at $10,000, and a year's supply of Milwaukee's Best Light beer.

'We recognize how hard it is to finish in the money at the Main Event,' said Chad Dern, brand manager at Milwaukee's Best Light. 'To us, players who fell just short are still champions, and we'd like to give them another shot by letting them play in the Milwaukee's Best Light Bubble

Playoff for a seat at next year's event.'

'Milwaukee's Best Light is not only a great brand partner, but they also have a tremendous understanding of today's poker player,' said Ty Stewart, director of sponsorship and licensing at the World Series of Poker. 'Through the Bubble Playoff, Milwaukee's Best Light is having a positive impact on both the players and the tournament.'
