Level 17
: 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante
A pot of 100,000 had already built up between Seth Gutz and Joseph Sutliff, with a 
board on the felt. Gutz checked, and Sutliff simply moved in with a covering stack. Gutz snapped off for his last 210,000.
Seth Gutz: 
Joseph Sutliff: 
The case ace brought all the action, as Gutz turned top set while Sutliff, who turned aces-up, was still plenty live with a flush draw. The 
river gave Sutliff a flush and left a stunned Gutz standing at his chair. A few moments later, with another elimination at an outer table, it was confirmed that the remaining 90 players were in the money, and Gutz was left with a brutal beat as the bubble.
