Tanja Vujanic was just eliminated in 34th place.
She was all in preflop holding

Vujanic pockets $4,600.
Edison Nguyen was in early position when he looked down at 
.
He shoved for 64,000.
The action folded around to Robert Spano in the small blind, he had a look at 
, and made the flat-call to put Nguyen at risk.
The 
board was good for Nguyen as he scooped the double.
John Parker has done better than just double up his short stack, he’s landed a big triple up to stay alive.
Parker moved all in from early position for his last 69,000. Jazz Mathers called before Adam Martinsson moved all in for another 62,000 on top. Mathers was committed with his

.
The board ran out

It started with Michael Frydman opened it up to 13,000 from early position. Phillip Dong three-bet all in for 42,000 from the hijack, Muhammad Khan called from the cut off and Jazz Mathers called from the button. Back on Frydman and he tank-called.
Dong was at risk and looking to quadruple up and then some.
The 
flop would see Frydman check, Khan bet 35,000 and both Mathers and Frydman called. All three players checked the turn and a 
was dealt on the river. This time when it was checked to Mathers, he would bet 275,000. Frydman moved all in for less, Khan got out of the way and two players were at risk.
Mathers immediately tabled his 
for a rivered full house.
Dong got out of his seat, showing his as he did so.
Frydman also got out of his seat, opting to muck his cards, but he said he had pocket nines for a straight.
Dong was officially sent home in 37th place, while Frydman took 36th.
Mathers is moving up toward 1 million in chips.
