With the board showing Spade 10Spade 9Heart 7Spade 4 on the turn and about 350K in the pot, Antonio Iannei checks the small blind, and Traian Stanciu bets 250,000 from the big blind. Michael Uguccioni calls from the hijack, and Iannei folds.

The river card is the Diamond 6, Stanciu moves all in for about 2,850,000, and Uguccioni uses a Time Chip to tank for nearly a minute before he calls all in for about 1,325,000 with Club 9Club 8 for a ten-high straight.

But Stanciu turns over Spade 8Spade 6 to win the pot with a spade flush, eliminating Uguccioni in 17th place.

Traian Stanciu  –  5,020,000  (100 bb)
Michael Uguccioni  –  Eliminated in 17th Place  (€7,200)
