Level 25 : Blinds 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante

Tero Laurila raised to 65,000 from under the gun with 3♠3♥ before Lin Xia moved all in with A♣10♥ from the small blind for 410,000. Laurila made the call.

Tero Laurila: 3♠3♥

It was a flip for Xia's tournament life but the flop wasn't favourable as it came J♠8♠4♠ which gave Laurila a set. The turn was a brick when it came the 6♣ and the river of the 3♣ ensured Xia's elimination in seventh for €12,000.
