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.
