Action has been paused while the staff at the Empire Casino sets up for the money presentation. Play should resume in ten minutes.

History will be made tonight. If John Tabatabai wins, a local Londoner will become the WSOPE Main Event Champion. If Annette "Annette_15" Obrestad, she will become the youngest bracelet winner in the history of the WSOP.

John Tabatabai has the button in Seat 3. He raises to 75,000 and Matthew McCullough calls.

The flop is {J-Clubs}{6-Hearts}{3-Clubs}. McCullough checks, Tabatabai bets 115,000, McCullough raises to 350,000, Tabatabai re-raises to 765,000, McCullough moves all in and Tabatabai calls.

McCullough shows the {J-Clubs}{8-Clubs} while Tabatabai tables the {A-Clubs}{6-Spades}. The turn is the {A-Diamonds}, pairing Tabatabai's ace. He took the lead and McCullough was on the verge of elimination. The river is the {Q-Spades}, and Matthew McCullough could not improve his hand. He is our third place finisher, earning £381,910 for his efforts.

We have reached heads up play.

Why is nobody betting on Annette?

A bargain at even money

What do the betters know that we don't? Annette currently has the chip lead and she is proven in multi table tournaments, allbeit online. However, she is the underdog right now in the betting markets.

Could it be that the punters favour the solid play of McCullough to get him to at least a heads up scenario, whereas Annette and John are capable of taking each other out at any hand at any time?

Who knows, but Evens seems a great price for the internet star.

Matthew McCullough has the button in Seat 6. John Tabatabai completes the small blind and Obrestad checks. The flop is {Q-Hearts}{6-Hearts}{3-Diamonds}. Tabatabai bets 30,000 and Obrestad calls. The turn is the {Q-Clubs} and both players check. The river is the {2-Hearts}. Check-check again. Tabatabai shows queens and sixes, Obrestad shows queesn and threes, and Tabatabai wins the pot.
