On a board of 2♠8♦4♥9♦8♠, Sandu's tens held and he doubled up to 205,000.
Down to 65,000, Pana shoved on the next hand from the button, and Sandu reshoved in the small blind.

Cristian Sandu: K♣Q♠
Sandu celebrated on the turn after he hit a pair, then trips on 5♦4♣9♥K♦K♥. He burst the bubble and qualified for Day 2, while Pana was walking away.
