Cornel Cimpan - 4th Place

Omaha

It folded to Najib Bennani who completed from the small blind, then Cornel Cimpan raised to 150,000 total from the big blind. Bennani asked how much Cimpan had left -- 265,000 -- then made the call.

The flop came {5-Spades}

{5-Spades}

{J-Clubs}

{7-Diamonds}

, and Bennani promptly bet enough to put Cimpan all in. He pondered a while, then said "All right."

Bennani {8-Clubs}

{8-Clubs}

{6-Clubs}

{6-Spades}

{5-Hearts}

Cimpan

{A-Clubs}

{A-Diamonds}

{7-Hearts}

{3-Diamonds}

The turn was the {2-Hearts}

{2-Hearts}

and the river the {4-Clubs}

{4-Clubs}

, giving Bennani the straight and eliminating Cimpan.

Bennani is the new chip leader as we begin three-handed play. Counts coming.
