Ryan Dodson Eliminated in 14th Place ($6,012)
Level 24
: 20,000/40,000, 5,000 ante
A monster pot just went down between two of the biggest stacks in the room.
There was roughly 230,000 already in the pot and a flop of when action exploded between Day 1a chip leader Kevin Berthelsen and Day 1b chip Ryan Dodson. The former wound up all in for 1.35 million and the hands were turned up.
Kevin Berthelsen: 
Ryan Dodson: 
Dodson had flopped two pair to pull ahead of the aces, but his lead was shortlived as the 
spiked on the turn to give Berthelsen a set. Dodson was drawing dead headed to the 
river and was left with 250,000. He went bust a short time later in 14th place.

Todd Bergeth Eliminated in 17th Place ($5,010)
Level 23
: 15,000/30,000, 4,000 ante
"I'm not going to beat a flopped straight."
Those were the last words of Todd Bergeth, who tangled with MSPT champ Max Havlish and discovered the bad news on the turn.
There was already a good amount in the middle and a board reading 
when Bergeth bluffed it and was called by Havlish, who tabled the nuts.
Todd Bergeth: 
Max Havlish: 
Indeed, Havlish had flopped the straight and Bergeth was drawing dead headed to the river.
