Joni Jouhkimainen was the short stack coming into the final table, but managed to build it up and had nearly 75% of the chips in play when the tournament was down to the final four. However, the three-handed play finished with the elimination of the young Finn, who will collect a cash prize of just over �400,000.

Jouhkimainen opened his last hand with a raise to 500,000 from the button with {9-Clubs} {9-Spades} only to have Ilari Sahamies shove all in from the big blind holding {A-Hearts} {J-Clubs}. Jouhkimainen snap called and the two Finns went for a showdown.

The {A-Clubs} {3-Spades} {7-Spades} flop paired Shamies' ace and put Jouhkimainen on the verge of elimination. The {10-Diamonds} on the river left him with only two outs, but the {Q-Spades} on the river wasn't one of them. Jouhkimainen was eliminated from the tournament in third place leaving the two remaining players, Ilari Sahamies and Mikalai Pobal heads up for the title.
