With the elimination of Patty Till, there is just one woman left. Jennifer Parrish hasn't been significantly over the average stack all day but managed to accumulate just enough to survive to the next level. While she is one of the shorter stacks right now, she doesn't have to survive too much longer to turn her investment into a profit.

The player first to act raised to 25,000 and Thang Nguyen called, next to act. Bernard Lee was in the cutoff and thought for a couple minutes before folding, as did the other three players remaining in the hand.
The flop was

Only moments after the 35th place finisher was eliminated and before hand for hand was announced, we lost another player. Our bubble boy held
and lost to John Nguyen's
when he made a flush on the river.
We had 40 players left at the dinner break and it took under 35 minutes to lose seven players and get to the money. By all accounts, that is one of the fastest bubbles we've seen in a long time given the deep structure.
Craig Burgeron raised his button to 12,000 after action had folded to him. Waseem Karim moved all in out of the small blind and after some deliberation, Burgeron made the call.
Burgeron: 

Karim: 

The board ran out 



and Karim survived a sweat to double up.

Mark "Pegasus" Smith and Jennifer Parrish are seated next to each other and have a good rapport with each other. Smith was on the button and opened for 30,000. Parrish called from the small blind after some thought. The flop came
and Parish checked. Smith moved all in having Parrish well covered.
"That's why I didn't shove, in case I missed," she said as she folded
face up.
Smith smiled and turned over
as he raked in the pot.
