Joni Jouhkimainen was working with an average stack. Although he has lost a few feathers since break, he was still rather healthy with 75.1M chips, until a huge hand came about.

François Billard bumped the big blind to 4M from the under-the-gun position. That bet was called by Castrillon Fontan in the button before it was raised by Kevin Rabichow, the chip leader at the time. Jouhkimainen was in the small blind, and started tanking. Everybody knew at that point, considering the heavy action he was facing, that anything but an instant fold meant a huge hand. He used a time extension card and announced all-in.

The action was quickly folded to Rabichow, who called just as quickly.

In any ordinary game, that river would have caused a commotion, but these guys are no ordinary players. Rabichow barely lifted an eyebrow and started counting 75.1M to hand over to his left. Jouhkimainen, out of respect for the game and his antagonist in the hand, celebrated internally.

This 3-outer was worth 150 millions chips, and the lead for a million-dollar first prize. Just another day.
