Spahiu Ousts Berthelsen in 21st Place
Level 18
: 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante
Renato Spahiu raised the button to 20,000 and Bryant Miller called. Kevin Berthelsen, who back in August finished third in the MSPT Grand Falls Main Event, came along from the big blind and it was three-way action to the 
flop.
Two checks saw Spahiu continued for 40,000 and Miller folded. Berthelsen then check-jammed for around 150,000 and Spahiu called.
Renato Spahiu: 
Kevin Berthelsen: 
Berthelsen had flopped top pair but it was no good as Spahiu held an overpair. Neither the 
turn nor 
river changed a thing and Berthelsen bowed out in 21st place for $2,600 in cash and prizes.

Big Slick Does Not Do the Trick for Miller
Level 19
: 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante
Bryant Miller raised to 25,000 from the button only to have Steve Federspiel three-bet to 85,000 from the big blind. Miller responded by four-bet jamming and Federspiel called.
Steve Federspiel:
Bryant Miller: 
Both players had ace-king and that meant a chop was more than likely. However, the 
flop made things interesting by giving Federspiel a freeroll flush draw. The 
turn didn't complete it but the 
river did to send Miller out the door in 20th place for $2,600.
