Nuutinen Spikes The Turn To Stay Alive
Jose Manuel Nadal Sordo opened for 50,000 only to have Jorma Nuutinen three-bet all in for 452,000. Sordo gave it a little thought before making the call.
Showdown
Sordo: 
Nuutinen: 
Nuutinen was flipping for his tournament life, and things look bleak when the flop fell 
and paired Sordo's queen. Nuutinen stood in preparation of his exit, and no sooner did he get on his feet than the dealer burned and turned the 
. Nuutinen spiked a ten to retake the lead and leave Sordo drawing dead.
The meaningless 
completed the board on the river and a disappointed Sordo was left with just 300,000.
