The Day 1a Chip Leader vs. the Day 5 Chip Leader
Aku Joentausta, who finished as the Day 1a chip leader of this event, opened for 40,000 from early position only to have the start-of-the-day chip leader Samuel Rodriguez three-bet to 120,000 from the small blind. Joentausta made the call and it was heads-up action to the 
flop.
Rodriguez proceeded to check-call a bet of 100,000 before both players checked the 
turn. When the 
peeled off on the river, Rodriguez fired out 170,000 and Joentausta simply folded.
