Anthony Mahaut Eliminated in 5th Place (€13,600)
Level 30
: Blinds 50,000/100,000, 100,000 ante
Traian Stanciu open-raised to 255,000 from the button before Anthony Mahaut jammed all in from the big blind for 2,525,000 chips. Stanciu immediately called with the covering stack and the cards were tabeled.
Anthony Mahaut: J♠J♦
Traian Stanciu: A♠K♠
Stanciu's rail was screaming for an ace, but the K♦8♣5♥ flop brought his other pair instead, shooting him into the lead.
It was then Stanciu's rail's turn to root for a jack, but their yells were less effective as the board bricked out with a 7♣ turn and a 2♣ river.
Losing the flip meant that Mahaut was eliminated in fifth place while Stanciu ended up in a solid second place on the leaderboard.
