Applause!

Applause rings out, and we are now in the money. The bubble hand in just a moment.

David Singer, recently crippled in a hand where his opponent made four sixes, was down to his final 800. He put it in on third street and was called by three players: Men Nguyen, Mike Hefer and Vince Burgio. Those three players checked the action down all the way through the river. Burgio made trip fives for high; Nguyen made 7-6-5-2-A for low. Singer had an open pair of eights on his board but couldn't come up with anything after he squeezed the river.

He is eliminated in 57th place. All of the remaining players are in the money.

Read My Lips: No More UIGEA

[user75032]

Phil Hellmuth was regaling a tablemate with a tale of Barack Obama's recent visit to Las Vegas. He heard that Daniel Negreanu met Obama while he was here and learned that Obama regularly plays poker with Secret Service agents.

"That's our kind of President, baby," said Hellmuth.

Sixty-Six Cashes Don't Buy Pots

[user75032]

Tim D'Alessandro just took a pot off of the man who informed the floor that he holds the record for most cashes in the WSOP -- Phil Hellmuth. D'Alessandro brought it in with the {4-Hearts}

, then called along with Greg Pappas when Hellmuth completed the {J-Hearts}

. Pappas folded to Hellmuth's bet on fourth after Hellmuth caught the {3-Hearts}

, but D'Alessandro, who caught the {7-Spades}

, called.

Hellmuth, with the {5-Clubs}

, checked to D'Alessandro's {3-Spades}

on fifth street. D'Alessandro bet and Hellmuth called. D'Alessandro made the best board on sixth when he caught the {K-Spades}

to Hellmuth's {8-Clubs}

. Again he bet, and again Hellmuth called. The same thing happened on the river.

D'Alessandro showed {8-Spades}

in the hole for a spade flush for high, and 8-7 for low. Hellmuth never opened his hand. It was a "sweeper" for D'Alessandro, at Hellmuth's considerable expense.

After the hand, D'Alessandro increased his stack to 48,000, while Hellmuth slipped to 18,000.
