Level 32 : Blinds 80,000/160,000, 160,000 ante

Traian Standu raised to 320,000 from the button and Maurice Nass defended his big blind after Duc Tuan Tran had folded his small blind.

Nass then checked on the 10♦5♥3♣ flop and called the subsequent 285,000 continuation-bet from Nass. The Q♣ turn saw the same sequence happen, but this time the bet size was a hefty 775,000.

Both players then both checked the 5♠ river and Nass tabled his A♦3♥ for bottom pair. It was good enough to rake in the pot as Stanciu quickly tossed his cards toward the muck.

Tran folded instantly, with Nass showing K♠6♠ as he took down a sizeable pot.

Maurice Nass raised to 250,000 on the button and Traian Stanciu pushed all-in for 1,550,000 in the small blind. The initial raiser asked for a count and then called.

Traian Stanciu: K♦J♦
Maurice Nass: Q♣J♣

Stanciu was ahead once more and that remained to be the case throughout the 9♠5♣4♦7♦9♥ board as he doubled and nearly closed the gap to Nass.

"If it would have been a bounty, I call," Duc Tuan Tran joked, and said he would have won the hand.

Traian Stanciu: K♦J♣
Maurice Nass: K♥5♥

Stanciu had the dominating king, but the A♥A♣3♠ brought some chop outs for Nass. However, the remainder of the runout remained clean for Stanciu when 6♣Q♥ was put on the felt and he doubled up to stay in contention.
