Gicovanu on the Ropes
Martin Soukup raised to 250,000 with the :::Kc:::Js and Marius Gicovanu defended the :::6d:::4h. Both checked the :::Qd:::Jc:::9h flop and the :::5c turn. Gicovanu bet the {10h} river for 200,000 and Soukup raised to 2,800,000 to force an instant fold from Gicovanu.
In a limped pot, Gicovanu bet the :::Kh{10c}{10s} flop with :::9h:::6d for 120,000 and Soukup called with the {10d}:::4h. Soukup improved to a full house on the :::4s turn on which both players checked and the :::2c appeared on the river.
Soukup bet and Gicovanu let go once more.
| Martin Soukup | 9,900,000 | 800,000  |
| Marius Gicovanu | 1,100,000 | -800,000  |
