Gicovanu Wins Massive Flip, Linaras Folds the Winner
Level 29
: Blinds 100,000/200,000, 200,000 ante
Martynas Brazdžionis opened to 400,000 from the cutoff and Sokratis Linaras three-bet to 1,000,000 from the cutoff. Marius Gicovanu moved all in from the small blind for 3,900,000 and Brazdžionis re-shoved for approximately 5,500,000. Linaras got out of the way leaving Gicovanu all in and at risk.
Marius Gicovanu: 10♣10♥
Martynas Brazdžionis: A♦K♥
The board ran out 4♣Q♦3♠3♣Q♠. Gicovanu's pocket-tens held and he collected a gargantuan pot while making a serious dent in the stack of Brazdžionis.
An exasperated Linaras told his tablemates after the hand that he had folded pocket-jacks which would have been good for a pot worth over 12,000,000 had he called.
