[user38449]

Annette Obrestad has just claimed another victim at this final table in Ryan Gutch, your third place finisher.

Obrestad opened the pot with a raise to 35,000 from the button and Gutch called from the big blind. The flop came {10-Clubs}

and Gutch checked to Obrestad who fired a 40,000 continuation bet. Gutch made the call, sending the action to the turn -- {A-Clubs}

.

Here, both players checked, opting to see a free river card, which was the {3-Spades}

. Gutch led out with a pot-sized bet, Obrestad then reraised the pot putting Gutch all in, and Gutch made the call.

At the showdown, Obrestad tabled {A-Spades}

for tens full, besting Gutch's flush for the win.

Gutch's elimination set the stage for a heads-up match between Obrestad and short stack Billy Seri. Obrestad will enter the heads-up portion of the match with 856,000 in chips to Seri's 104,000.
