Xuan Liu Eliminated in 3rd Place (€360,000)
Level 30
: 60,000/120,000, 15,000 ante
Rupert Elder raised on the button to 250,000, Heinzelmann folded in the small blind and Xuan Liu moved all-in for 2,480,000 from the big blind.
Elder asked the dealer for a count and when he was told the amount he made the call. The screwed up face of Elder said it all when he saw the hand of Liu.

It looked so likely that Liu would double up until the dealer gave us this magnificent flop.
Flop:
Although Elder had taken the lead it gave Liu a ton of outs with her flush draw added to her two overcards.
Turn:
River:
Xuan Liu will not be the second successive woman to win EPT San Remo but she did fantastically well to finish in 3rd place for her best ever cash.
