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.
