Gicovanu Over Bostan

Level 26 : 25,000/50,000, 50,000 ante

Marius Gicovanu raised to 115,000 with the {A-Clubs}{Q-Hearts} on the button and Traian Bostan defended the big blind with {K-Spades}{Q-Clubs}. On the {J-Diamonds}{5-Diamonds}{4-Hearts} flop, Bostan checked and called a bet of 80,000 to see the {A-Spades} on the turn.

Bostan checked once more and Gicovanu made it 265,000 to go, Bostan called with his gutshot. He bricked off on the {8-Spades} river and a 400,000 bet by Gicovanu got the job done.

Traian Bostan Eliminated in 3rd Place (€33,960)

Level 27 : 30,000/60,000, 60,000 ante
Traian Bostan
Traian Bostan

Traian Bostan raised to 120,000 with the {8-Spades}{8-Diamonds} and Marius Gicovanu three-bet to 400,000 with {A-Hearts}{10-Diamonds} in the small blind. Bostan jammed for 1,755,000 and Gicovanu asked for a count, then called.

One hand after his double up, Bostan was at risk again and remained in the lead on the {J-Hearts}{4-Spades}{3-Spades} flop. But the {10-Spades} turn improved Gicovanu to a pair of tens. Bostan had spades and the two remaining eights as outs, but the {6-Diamonds} river was not what he was looking for.

"Good luck, may the best win," Bostan said when he shook hands with Gicovanu and headed to the payout desk to collect €33,960 for his efforts. While he missed out on a second Unibet Open title, Martin Soukup is still in contention and about to head into a very deep-stacked heads-up against Gicovanu.
