Giorgio Soceanu Eliminated in 2nd Place (€225,200)
Level 39
: Blinds 300,000/600,000, 600,000 ante
Adrian State open-shoved on the button, and Giorgio Soceanu quickly called off his stack of 9,900,000 in the big blind.
Giorgio Soceanu: A♠9♠ 
Adrian State: 10♣8♣
Soceanu flopped a pair on 9♦Q♥4♥, while State had a gutshot and a ten to contend with. The K♥ turn did nothing for either player, but the J♣ river completed State's straight.
The opponents shook hands and hugged before a disappointed Soceanu left the stage to pick up his runner-up prize of €225,200, more than doubling his total lifetime earnings.
