: 1,200/2,400, 300 ante
We arrived to find the action coming to a head, but gathered that Joni Jouhkimainen opened with a preflop raise. Eugene Katchalov put out a three-bet from the big blind and Jouhkimainen replied by shipping all in over the top. Katchalov called and the hands were tabled.
Katchalov showed 
and was racing with Jouhkimainen's 
. Jouhkimainen stayed ahead on the 
flop and his nines were still the best hand even after the 
hit the turn. The 
rivered and ensured Jouhkimainen would double up to around 230,000 while Katchalov was crippled to just 25,000.
