Paunescu Ends Stanciu's Tournament

Level 24 : Blinds 20,000/40,000, 40,000 ante

Traian Stanciu three-bet shoved from the big blind after Nicolae Paunescu had opened from the button. Paunescu called and the cards were revealed.

Traian Stanciu: A♥9♦ All in
Nicolae Paunescu: J♦J♠

Stanciu was behind and had to find an ace to have a chance of making it to Day 3. However, the board ran out clean for Paunescu's pocket jacks as it came 4♣Q♦3♠6♠8♦ and all of Stanciu's chips were sent over to Paunescu.
