Lee Vlastaris Eliminated in 20th Place ($26,824); Jon Van Fleet Eliminated in 19th Place ($26,824)

We just had two eliminations in short order. First Lee Vlastaris was eliminated in 20th by Alex Venovski. Then a short-stacked Jon Van Fleet was knocked out in 19th by Rory Mathews.

In the latter hand, Mathews raised to 35,000 from the button, and Van Fleet pushed all in for 185,000 from the small blind. Mathews called showing {K-Diamonds}{Q-Hearts} versus Van Fleet's {8-Hearts}{8-Spades}.

The board went {Q-Clubs}{J-Spades}{4-Diamonds}{9-Diamonds}{6-Clubs}, and Van Fleet is out. Mathews is now at 960,000.
