We're in the Money!
Congratulations is in order for both Phil Hellmuth and Men "The Master" Nguyen, who, by cashing in tonight's event, have recorded their 62nd and 56th WSOP cashes respectively. Phil and Men rank 1st and 2nd on the all-time WSOP times-cashed list.
We should also note that Tony Hachem, brother to Joe, has also made the money, this being the 2nd consecutive year he's cashed in a 6-handed No-Limit Hold'em event.
Well done, guys!

Hand-for-Hand Begins
Fred Goldberg Eliminated
. His opponent made the call and flipped over 
for top pair with a Queen kicker, while Goldberg showed two red Kings.Tonight wouldn't be Fred's night, however, as the
fell on the turn, giving his opponent trips. The river blanked off and Goldberg fell just shy of another cash in what has already been a phenomenal 2007 WSOP for him.
Jamie Gold Eliminates Jeff Shulman
According to Jamie, Shulman made a decent-sized raise from under the gun. Stickey Mickey made the call and Gold looked down at A-Q. Jamie said he noticed Shulman only had about 15,000 behind him, so he decided to move all-in, hoping to isolate Shulman.
Shulman made the call and the action turned to Sticky Mickey, who thought long and hard about making the call. "I think I have the kind of hand I want to play," Mickey said, according to Gold. After a considerable amount of time had passed, Mickey mucked his cards, but told the table he had pocket 2's.
Gold and Shulman faced a coinflip situation: Gold held A-Q, while Shulman turned over a pocket pair of Jacks. Jamie hit a Queen on the turn, which would ultimately win him the hand, but a 2 fell on the river, meaning Mickey would've taken the entire pot had he called.
Gold won the hand, eliminating Shulman, while upping his own chip count to right around 50,000; he had been down to 16K not long before this hand took place.
More On "Thomfoolery"
Earlier in the day, Poker News' John Caldwell was approached about lending an extra t-shirt to Wahlroos, who had ruined his own shirt earlier in the day. Caldwell obliged, unaware that Wahlroos would end up getting drunk a few hours later, and Wahlroos has been wearing it since.
