Cimpan Does it to Walsh Again

Cornel Andrew Cimpan and his formerly short stack
Cornel Andrew Cimpan and his formerly short stack
Pat Walsh is probably hoping not to play any more pots with Cornel Andrew Cimpan this afternoon. Right after losing one big pot to Cimpan, Walsh squared off with him again in another raised pot.

The two men were the only players for a flop of {A-?} {J-?} {A-?}. A raising war ensued, with Walsh being the first player to move all in. Cimpan quickly called all in for less, rolling over two jacks in the hole for a full house, jacks full of aces. Walsh showed {A-?} {Q-?} for trips. He had two shots at filling up to a bigger full house and eliminating the resilient Cimpan from the tournament, but the turn and river bricked {6-?} and {4-?}.

Cimpan is suddenly flush with more than a million chips after being severely short-stacked just a few minutes ago. Walsh is down to 475,000.
