Traian Stanciu Eliminated in 4th Place (�29,300)
Level 27
: Blinds 25,000/50,000, 50,000 ante
The action folded around to Ermanno Di Nicola in the small blind, who opted to limp. But Traian Stanciu in the big blind wasn��t about to let it go so easily��he raised the stakes to 100,000. Di Nicola wasn��t backing down, though, and answered with a three-bet to 335,000. Sensing his moment, Stanciu took a gamble and shoved all-in, only to be met with an instant call from Di Nicola.
Traian Stanciu: J?J?
Ermanno Di Nicola: Q?Q?
Earlier in the tournament, Stanciu had pulled off some near-miraculous hands by hitting sets on the board, but this time, his luck had run dry. The board ran out 9?8?7?9?7?, giving both players two pair, but Di Nicola��s queens held strong, sending Stanciu to the rail as Di Nicola claimed another pot.
