Level 35
: 1,000,000/2,000,000, 2,000,000 ante
Hand #61: Francois Billard raised to 4 million under the gun and Paul Fontan called on the button. From the small blind, Kevin Rabichow three-bets to 20 million total.
Joni Jouhkimainen used a time extension while in the big blind, and then opted to move all in for 75.1 million. Billard and Fontan folded, but Rabichow called.

Rabichow: 
Jouhkimainen was in horrible shape, and when the flop landed 
, he picked up some back door straight outs.
The 
on the turn gave Jouhkimainen outs to a chop with any jack or eight seeing the pot split, while a queen would secure him the double.
The dealer burned and turned the 
on the river to give the partypoker pro the check mark as he doubled into the chip lead with over 80 big blinds.
