Mihai Manole's exit was a rather simple affair in the end, the shortest of the three stacks pushing all in from the button for around 1,500,000 and small blind Michael Linn, who was still stacking his chips from the previous hand, making an immediate call.
Linn: 
Manole: 
Flop: 
"Deuce!" commanded a member of the rail.
Turn: 
"Three!" came the latest request.
River: 
The blank river meant that Manole picked up third, whilst Romania - if my assumed statistic is correct - missed out on their first ever bracelet by just a couple of spots.
