Gicovanu Doubles Again
Level 31
: 80,000/160,000, 160,000 ante
Martin Soukup jammed it in from the button and Marius Gicovanu called in the big blind, having dropped below 10 big blinds as the blinds had gone up.
Marius Gicovanu: 
Martin Soukup: 
The 
flop gave Soukup top pair while Gicovanu had the nut flush draw. He improved to the flush with the 
turn, and now Soukup needed a queen or ten. A blank 
river let the Romanian rail cheer once more, as Gicovanu kept his hopes of a title on home soil alive.
