PokerNews profiled Joe McKeehen earlier this week and he's continuing to impress as he has won his table, giving him his 4th career WSOP cash. Four others moved on and the Brasilia Room is getting quieter as the number of tables still playing dwindle.

The clash between Mike Matusow and Chad Eveslage is exciting to watch and has seen the chip lead change hands on a number of occasions. Right now it is Matusow who holds a slender advantage, which is partly down to a hand that took place less than a minute ago.
Eveslage opened to 1,000 from the button and Matusow responded by three-betting to 3,000. Eveslage riffled some 100 chips before tossing two yellow 1,000 chips into the middle of the table to make the call.
Neither player seemed too interested in the flop and it as checked to the turn. It was here that Matusow took the initiative, setting the price to play at 2,100. Those betting chips hadn't been on the felt long when Eveslage relinquished his hand.
Advantage Matusow, albeit by the smallest of margins.

Shaun Johnston has emerged victorious from his one-on-one encounter and is safely through to Saturday's Day 2.
Feeling confident, Johnston requested that the famous "Red Bull" Robbie award him his bracelet when he wins this event. Will Robbie oblige we wonder.

Things seem to be going Mike Matusow's way again judging by the fact he now has 28,000 of the 36,000 chips in play in front of him. Chad Eveslage isn't one for laying down and letting a player walk all over him so Matusow's victory is far from certain.
