Day seven of the 2008 WSOP Main Event finds the field narrowed to 27 players.  Tiffany Michelle, the last woman standing, is in third chip position with just over $9.7 million in chips.  Dennis Phillips is in first place with $11.9 million and Craig Marquis is holding on to second with a comfortable $11.4 million in chips.

Phillips, who has previously made final tables in the 2007/2008 WSOP Grand Casino Tunica Circuit Event, is making his first ever cash at the WSOP.  Second-place player Marquis cashed earlier in this year’s WSOP in a $1,500 buy-in No-Limit Hold’em Shootout in which he placed 18th.  Tiffany “Hot Chips” Michelle has never placed in a WSOP or Circuit event but this gal is poised to make it to the final table this year.

In other news, Mike “The Mouth” Matusow didn’t make it past day six going out in 30th place and winning $193,000.  Matusow had an AJ and Paul Snead held A9.  The flop was AA5 giving Matusow the higher hand but the turn showed a 5 which gave Snead a full house.  Matusow wasn’t able to better his hand on the river and was felted.
