Nass ousted Romania’s Traian Stanciu after a see-saw, heads-up battle that saw both players take multiple turns in the lead. The event drew 628 total entries including Nass, who was reportedly playing in his first-ever live WSOP event. While the WSOP Europe Main Event was gathering toward its final table, Nass completed his victory in the turbo-paced Closer tournament, in just 11 hours of action in the event’s second day. Nass’s triumph in the last event to get underway at Kings brought him a €60,000 payday in addition to the cherished bracelet. Nass joined the series’ long list of first-time bracelet winners by taking down Event #15 at Kings Casino in Rozvadov, Czech Republic, the €550 NLH “The Closer”. The 2023 World Series of Poker Europe moved closer to its conclusion in the late-night hours of Tuesday with Germany’s Maurice Nass collecting his first career WSOP gold bracelet.
