Fireworks From Gicovanu Right Out of the Gate
Level 1
: 100/200, 200 ante
While all players start with 250 big blinds, it doesn't mean that the action is necessarily slow in the first level. A very large pot developed in essentially the first hand when Marius Gicovanu battled with Atanas Nikolov. Some 58,000 were in the middle to the 
river on which Gicovanu moved all-in.
Nikolov had already invested more than half of his stack and eventually surrendered.
