Traian Stanciu Eliminated in 2nd Place (€36,600)
Level 37
: Blinds 250,000/500,000, 500,000 ante
Traian Stanciu jammed his final 5,000,000 chips in from the button and Maurice Nass made the call from the big blind.
Traian Stanciu: A♥8♠
Maurice Nass: J♠6♠
Stanciu had a slight lead, but Nass was the only one to flop a pair on 6♦3♣Q♥. The K♦ turn did not help Stanciu, and the 9♠ failed to improve his hand as well.
After a long and back-and-forth heads up battle, Stanciu finished as runner-up in the €550 Closer event.
He had to console himself with his €36,600 in prize money, while Maurice Nass could celebrate his newly won WSOP bracelet.
