Mihai Manole Eliminated in 22nd Place (€16,000)
It has been a fantastic year for the diminutive Romanian Mihai Manole, winning over $500,000 in tournament earnings alone. Unfortunately, he will not be able to repeat his final table performance in EPT Barcelona in Season 6 when he finished in 4th place. Chip Leader Konstantinos Nanos has extinguished that dream on this fabulous morning in Vienna.
Nanos opened the action from the hijack seat with a raise of 36,000. Luca Cainelli folded in the cut-off and Manole shoved his stack across the line from the Button. The blinds folded and Nanos asked the Dealer for a count - it was 256,000 on Nanos. Nanos, confident as ever throughout this tournament, made the call.
