Pasi Laihinen Eliminated in 3rd Place (€80,000)

Mounir Tajiou opened the action from the button to 500,000 with A♣Q♠, and Pasi Laihinen looked down at Q♥J♦ in the small blind. Knowing how aggressive Tajiou has played so far and him having an overwhelming chip lead, Laihinen had an easy three-bet shove, and for Tajiou, the call was even easier.

It was pretty much game over on the flop already, as the Swede hit trips on a board of A♦A♠4♣.

The 4♥ on the turn sealed the deal, and Laihinen was drawing dead.

Despite the exit, it was a great run for the Finish player, who was on the verge of elimination in eighth place but hit a crucial two outer on the flop to stay alive. This time however, no luck for Laihinen, who will take home €80,000 for his third-place finish in the record-breaking 2025 Kings of Tallinn Main Event.

Mounir Tajiou – 22,000,000
