Jouhkimainen Doubles Through Sahamies
Joni Jouhkimainen was all in preflop for 1.66 million folding 
and in bad shape against the 
of Ilari Sahamies. The 
flop wasn't anything special for Jouhkimainen, but the 
turn was as it gave him the lead with a pair of aces and left Sahamies drawing to two outs headed to the river.
The dealer burned one last time and put out the 
, giving Jouhkimainen a much-needed double.

Alekberovas pushed back with a four-bet to 800,000, Duda moved all in for 2.56, and Alekberovas snap-called.
Showdown
Alekberovas: 
Duda:

From Short Stack to the Second Biggest Stack
Samuel Rodriguez raised to 225,000 under the gun with 
and Joni Jouhkimainen three-bet to 405,000 immediately after with 
. The rest of the field got out of the way, Rodriguez called, and the flop fell 
.
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 
turn, he did on the 
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.

Sinel Anton Eliminated in 6th Place (€178,400)
In the first hand back from the break, Sinel Anton raised to 205,000 from early position with 
and was met with a three-bet to 375,000 from Anaras Alekberovas, who held 
in the cutoff. After the button and blinds folded, the short-stacked Anton just called. Not only that, he check-called bets of 100,000 and 205,000 on the 
flop and turn respectively.
Anton checked for a third time when he paired his queen on the river, and then called off his last million when Alekberovas moved all in. Anton seemed to think he won the hand as he lingered at the table until someone told him, "You lost." Anton realized the situation, got up, and took his leave in sixth place.

Samuel Rodriguez Eliminated in 5th Place (€230,900)

. It was an action flop as Rodriguez flopped two pair holding and Jouhkimainen had an up-and-down straight draw with .
Rodriguez's last 2.32 million ended up in the pot and the players were on their feet, especially when the turn gave Jouhkimainen an added flush draw. Much to the dismay of Rodriguez and those hoping to see a Spaniard take down an EPT for the first time, the 
spiked on the river to complete Jouhkimainen's flush. The local player exited the stage in fifth place to a nice round of applause.

flop saw Jouhkimainen fire out 600,000, Alekberovas call with second pair, and the turn.
