Cornel Cimpan Out in 17th Place ($26,500)

Ryan Rivers raises from middle position to 115,000, WPT Champions Club member Cornel Cimpan (pictured) moves all in from the hijack for about 800,000, and Rivers calls with JJ. Cimpan turns over 1010, and he needs to improve to stay alive.

The board comes J94A3, and Rivers wins the pot with a set of jacks to eliminate Cimpan from the tournament.

Ryan Rivers  –  3,650,000  (73 bb)
Cornel Cimpan  –  Eliminated in 17th Place  ($26,500)
