After doubling up Jeremy Ausmus on the previous hand, Joni Jouhkimainen was on a short stack and opened the action from under the gun to 70,000.

Joni Jouhkimainen: {a-Clubs}{3-Clubs}{10-Spades}{9-Spades}
Shaun Deeb: {k-Diamonds}{k-Spades}{q-Diamonds}{5-Diamonds}
Jeremy Ausmus: {a-Hearts}{a-Spades}{10-Clubs}{6-Clubs}

The board ran out {10-Hearts}{9-Hearts}{8-Clubs}{3-Diamonds}{j-Spades} and Deeb rivered the nut straight to triple up while Jouhkimainen was eliminated in sixth place for $73,950.

John Zable Bubbles the $25,000 PCA PLO High Roller

Level 22 : Blinds 10,000/20,000, 0 ante
John Zable
John Zable

Joni Jouhkimainen raised to 75,000 from the hijack before John Zable moved all in for around 200,000 from the cutoff. Action folded back to Jouhkimainen who called.

John Zable: {a-Diamonds}{q-Clubs}{q-Hearts}{j-Hearts}
Joni Jouhkimainen: {a-Spades}{k-Diamonds}{10-Spades}{5-Hearts}

Zable was all in and at risk but was behind when the flop came {k-Hearts}{j-Spades}{5-Diamonds} as Jouhkimainen had flopped top pair. The turn came the {9-Spades} and the river the {k-Clubs} to give Jouhkimainen kings full of fives and to burst the bubble at Zable's expense.

Jeremy Ausmus said thank you to the dealer as the remaining 6 players locked up a big minimum cash of $73,950.
