From Short Stack to the Second Biggest Stack

Samuel Rodriguez raised to 225,000 under the gun with {8-Clubs}{8-Hearts} and Joni Jouhkimainen three-bet to 405,000 immediately after with {J-Spades}{7-Spades}. The rest of the field got out of the way, Rodriguez called, and the flop fell {K-Hearts}{6-Spades}{8-Spades}.

Rodriguez checked his flop set, and the check-raised to 800,000 when Jouhkimainen bet 335,000. The latter responded by moving all in for 3.31 million and Rodriguez snap-called. Jouhkimainen needed a spade to stay alive, and while he would find it on the {7-Clubs} turn, he did on the {2-Spades} river.

Rodriguez was clearly disappointed as his hope of becoming the first-ever Spaniard to win an EPT decreased significantly; meanwhile, Jouhkimainen is now up +6.1 million since the start of the day.
