Stanciu Takes the Lead

Level 34 : Blinds 125,000/250,000, 250,000 ante

The first two pots of heads-up were min-raised and traded between the players without any showdown.

Maurice Nass then raised to 500,000 on the button and Traian Stanciu called in the big blind. On the 9?6?5? flop, Stanciu check-called a bet of 650,000 and they checked down the 4? turn as well as the 5? river.

Stanciu revealed the K?6? for sixes and fives to win the pot, gaining a narrow lead in the process.

Maurice Nass raised to 500,000 on the button and Duc Tuan Tran announced all in from the big blind. Nass snap-called and turned over his hand.

Duc Tuan Tran: K?8?
Maurice Nass: A?K?

After losing a big pot to Traian Stanciu in the previous hand, Tran was suddenly at risk and looking for help. The 2?2?4?Q?10? runout changed nothing, ending Tran's run in third place.

Nass Finds Rockets

Level 33 : Blinds 100,000/200,000, 200,000 ante

Maurice Nass raised to 400,000 from the button and Duc Tuan Tran made the call from the big blind. Tran then check-called a 375,000 bet on the 8?J?5? flop before both players checked the board-pairing J? turn.

Tran then led for 400,000 on the Q? river.

"Scary," said Nass before tossing in a call.

Tran showed 8?7? but the two pair was no good against the A?A? of Nass, who played a better two pair with his aces and jacks.

Maurice Nass vs Traian Stanciu

In a limped battle of the blinds to the K?9?3? flop, Maurice Nass checked and Traian Stanciu bet 200,000. Nass check-raised to 450,000 and Stanciu called.

Nass then bet the 9? turn for 375,000 to earn a call before he shoved the 4? river, Stanciu beat him into the pot.

Nass shook his head and announced ten-high while flashing only the 10?. By then, Stanciu had already revealed his 9?3? for a full house and the 2? of Nass were also flipped over. The Romanian doubled for 1,585,000 and pulled ahead of Nass.

Stanciu Scores a Double Part III

Level 33 : Blinds 100,000/200,000, 200,000 ante

Traian Stanciu open-shoved from the button and Duc Tuan Tran folded in the small blind. Maurice Nass was curious enough in the big blind and asked for an exact count. The shove was for 1,555,000, just shy of eight big blinds, and Nass called.

Traian Stanciu: A?Q?
Maurice Nass: 9?7?

The K?K?Q? flop vaulted Stanciu into a commanding lead and he locked up the double with the 3? turn to make the 7? river a formality.
