Down to the last 3,050,000, Traian Stanciu open-jammed on the button and Maurice Nass instantly called in the big blind.

Traian Stanciu: A♠Q♣
Maurice Nass: A♥J♥

Livello 35 : Blinds 150,000/300,000, 300,000 ante

Traian Stanciu limped in from the button and Maurice Nass checked his option in the big blind. Both players then checked the 7♥7♦10♥ flop before Nass made a 475,000 bet on the K♦ turn.

Stanciu called and the 5♣ river completed the board. Nass slowed down again and checked, leading Stanciu to put out a large bet of 1,500,000. Nass took a few moments to think things over before tossing in a call.

Stanciu showed K♥10♠ for two pair, and Nass flung his cards in the muck in a frustrated manner.

Traian Stanciu called on the button and Maurice Nass tapped the table in the big blind.

The flop of Q♣7♥2♣ saw action checked through, as did the 3♠ turn. Nass checked the 10♠ river and was quickly facing a bet of 1,200,000 from Stanciu.

Nass took some time but ultimately tossed in the call. Stanciu showed 10♥7♠ for two pair, while Nass could only turn over 10♣2♥ to give up the chip lead.

Livello 36 : Blinds 200,000/400,000, 400,000 ante

Maurice Nass limped and Traian Stanciu checked to the J♦6♣3♥ flop, on which the Romanian check-called for 400,000. The A♦ turn was checked and Stanciu's bet of 750,000 on the 10♥ river took it down.

Nass then limped in soon after and folded to a shove. Stanciu shoved the button, too, and Nass folded.

Nass' next limp was checked by Stanciu and the latter check-called the Q♠J♠6♦ flop for 400,000. Stanciu check-called another 600,000 on the 9♠ turn and checked the 9♦ river. Nass moved all-in and Stanciu folded.

Livello 36 : Blinds 200,000/400,000, 400,000 ante

Traian Stanciu limped in from the button and Maurice Nass raised to 1,100,000, which his opponent called.

They headed to the Q♠Q♦J♦ flop on which Nass opted to check. Stanciu bet 950,000 for Nass to move all-in and the instant call of Stanciu followed.

Traian Stanciu: Q♥8♥
Maurice Nass: K♠K♥

Nass sunk back into his chair in disgust and found no lucky punch with the 2♦ turn or 3♣ river. Stanciu doubled for 4,850,000 to take a commanding lead.
