Gicovanu Turns a Straight

Marius Gicovanu opened to 125,000 with :::As{10c} and Martin Soukup defended the :::Jh:::6d. On the :::Kd:::Kx:::Jd flop, Soukup checked and called a bet of 80,000. Soukup checked again the :::Qd turn and a bet of 265,000 by Gicovanu did the trick to force a fold from Soukup.

Right after the hand, the players were sent on a 15-minute break.

Marius Gicovanu 6,200,000 600,000
Martin Soukup 4,785,000 -415,000
