Fishhooks for Jouhkimainen

Level 9 : 3,000/6,000, 1,000 ante

After Igor Kurganov opened for 12,000 from the cutoff, Joni Jouhkimainen three-bet all in for 90,000 from the button. Mike "Timex" McDonald called from the small blind, and then Argentina's Ivan Luca four-bet jammed for over 300,000. Kurganov folded and McDonald made the call.

McDonald: {a-Clubs}{k-Spades}
Luca: {a-Diamonds}{k-Clubs}
Jouhkimainen: {j-Diamonds}{j-Clubs}

McDonald and Luca held the same hand, which bettered the odds for Jouhkimainen. The {5-Spades}{q-Hearts}{q-Spades} flop was safe for Jouhkimainen, as was the {4-Diamonds} turn. All he needed to do to score the triple up was dodge an ace and king on the river, which is just what he did when the {8-Spades} bricked.

Ship Jouhkimainen the triple!
