    He's a writer, the guy who did the article about his experience in the WSOP several years ago. I think it was in Esquire, pre-poker craze. It was in Best American Sportswriting that year.

    Ah. Looks like he's in line for a nice payday, especially for a hack.

    It is a different James McManus, rather than the one that wrote Positively Fifth Street.

    Down to 50 players. Matusow is a major player with 3.4 million chips. Hellmuth has about 715,000 and is hanging in there but will need to get a double up at some point.

    They'll play down to 27 today.

    What's funny is that he played the hand perfectly, too.

    I'm sure Phil would agree that if playing perfectly meant winning every tournament, he'd never lose.

    Too bad. Hope Matusow makes the final table.
