The setup of the final table was as follows:
Keith Ferrera was the first to be eliminated, losing a flip to Juttelstad; then, following a long 5-handed session, Todd Jacobson said goodbye, leaving his chips before Sharon Levin. Nevertheless, Levin finished in 4th place, pushing his 810,000 in chips with
A 
3 preflop at Level 25 (5,000/20,000/40,000). Gagne called with A T and the board came neutral. Two levels later, they played it down to the heads-up, with Uri Kadosh being eliminated by Juttelstad’s pair of aces.
At level 29 (10,000/40,000/80,000), the event was over: Juttelstad limped with 80,000, Gagne checked and the flop came5 3 
2 . Gagne bet 300,000, Juttelstad called and the turn was A . Gagne pushed and Juttelstad insta-called with his 6 4 for a straight. Gagne showed an under straight with T4 for a minor chance of splitting the pot; the 8 on the river could not save her, however, so the WPT remains without a female champion for now.
