Gicovanu Finds a Double
Level 20
: Blinds 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante
Jan Doenges raised to 21,000 under the gun and Istvan Toth called in the small blind. Marius Gicovanu then moved all in for 80,000 in the big blind, Doenges reshoved, and Toth tanked for a minute before folding.
Marius Gicovanu: 9♠9♦
Jan Doenges: K♦Q♦
Gicovanu was flipping for his tournament life and came out in front as the board came 8♠2♦8♠6♥10♦, earning him a double up.
"You win," he asked Toth after the hand. Toth then admitted he also had king-queen.
"Why didn't you call," Gicovanu added.
"If he calls it comes king-queen on the flop," another tablemate joked.
