Soheil raises to 500,000, Cimpan moves all in, and Soheil quickly calls with [KsJd]. Cimpan shows [AsJh], and he’s a dominant favorite to win it all right here.
The flop comes [8h7h3d], and Cimpan solidifies his lead with ace high. The turn card is the [Qc], and Soheil needs a king on the river to stay alive.
The river card is the [7s], and Cornel Andrew Cimpan wins the pot — and the tournament — with ace high.
The always smiling Soheil Shamseddin finishes as the runner-up, earning $463,332.
Cornel Andrew Cimpan wins the WPT Foxwoods World Poker Finals, earning $910,058, a WPT bracelet, a Foxwoods trophy, and that includes his $25,500 entry into the WPT World Championship. Congratulations!
