Gicovanu Spikes the Ace
Level 18
: Blinds 8,000/16,000, 16,000 ante
Andrei Ciuca three-bet to 60,000 from the small blind before Marius Gicovanu moved all in from middle position. Ciuca snap-called for around 120,000 more.
Andrei Ciuca: K?K?
Marius Gicovanu: A?3?
Ciuca was ahead and poised for a double up until the 5?A?7? flop gave Gicovanu a pair of aces. The board ran out 6?Q? and Ciuca busted just short of the money in cruel fashion.
