Jouhkimainen Soars to the Top Spot

Level 11 : 3,000/5,000, 5,000 ante

Joni Jouhkimainen had previously won a large pot and then bet a heads-up river of {a-Clubs}{k-Spades}{10-Clubs}{j-Clubs}{3-Hearts} for 18,000, which Phil Galfond called. The Finn tabled {q-Diamonds}{10-Spades}{8-Clubs}{7-Clubs} for not only a straight but also flush to win the pot.

Erik Seidel then got it in with the {a-Diamonds}{a-Spades}{8-Diamonds}{3-Hearts} on a flop of {j-Spades}{10-Spades}{9-Hearts} and Jouhkimainen looked him up holding the {k-Diamonds}{j-Diamonds}{9-Spades}{8-Spades}. Neither the {3-Clubs} turn nor the {4-Clubs} river produced a miracle for Seidel and the next pot was pushed to Jouhkimainen.
