Kevin Berthelsen Eliminated in 3rd Place ($47,691)

Level 29 : 60,000/120,000, 20,000 ante
Kevin Berthelsen
Kevin Berthelsen

Kevin Berthelsen limped the button and Steve Wilkie raised to 420,000 from the small blind. Mark Collins folded the big, Berthelsen moved all in for a little over 1 million, and Wilkie called.

Kevin Berthelsen: {8-Diamonds}{8-Spades}
Steve Wilkie: {a-Diamonds}{q-Clubs}

It was a flip and Berthelsen was looking to hold to stay alive. Unfortunately for him, that proved easier said than done as the {9-Hearts}{a-Clubs}{j-Clubs}{2-Clubs}{4-Spades} runout gave Wilkie a winning pair of aces.

"I guess it wasn't meant to be," Berthelsen said before heading to the payout desk to collect $47,691 for finishing in third place.

Tom Sundling

A preflop raising war saw Mark Collins, who was un the big blind, get his stack of 2.72 million all in against Tom Sundling, who was under †he gun.

Mark Collins: {a-Spades}{k-Hearts}
Tom Sundling: {a-Spades}{q-Diamonds}

Collins had the superior ace and he took a hammerlock on the hand when the {k-Clubs}{9-Clubs}{9-Spades} flop paired his king. The {3-Spades} turn left Sundling drawing dead and he sent over most of his chips after the {j-Hearts} was run out on the river.

Sundling busted in the very next hand to Kevin Berthelsen.

Ricardo Eyzaguirre Eliminated in 6th Place ($20,539)

Level 27 : 40,000/80,000, 10,000 ante
Ricardo Eyzaguirre
Ricardo Eyzaguirre

Action folded around to Ricardo Eyzaguirre in the small blind and he jammed for what looked to be right around 600,000. Tom Sundling was in the big blind and made the call.

Tom Sundling: {3-Hearts}{3-Spades}
Ricardo Eyzaguirre: {a-Clubs}{3-Diamonds}

Eyzaguirre needed some help and the {6-Hearts}{8-Clubs}{6-Diamonds} flop gave him a counterfeit option. However, neither the {10-Clubs} turn nor {9-Diamonds} river impacted the hand and Eyzaguirre was ousted in sixth place.

The short-stacked Max Havlish, a former MSPT champ, moved all in for 245,000 from the small blind and Mark Collins, also a former MSPT champ, called from the big blind.

Max Havlish: {k-Spades}{3-Spades}
Mark Collins: {j-Clubs}{4-Hearts}
