Top Pair for Gicovanu
Level 26
: Blinds 50,000/100,000, 100,000 ante
Marius Gicovanu raised to 210,000 from middle position, and he was called by Giuseppe Mazza-Boussemart in the hijack and by the chipleader, Artiom Poddubnii, seated in the big blind.
All three players checked both on the flop 9?5?8? and on the turn Q?. But after the river 3? completed the board, Gicovanu bet 625,000. Mazza-Boussemart quickly called, and Poddubnii folded.
But all the chips went into Gicovanu's direction, as he had A?Q? for top pair.
