Level 28 (Blinds 40,000/80,000/10,000)
Total Entries: 775
Players Remaining: 12

Andrew Cimpan (Sacramento, CA)

Jay Sharon opened the action at Table 57 in late position, with Andrew Cimpan (Sacramento, CA) shoving for just over 1,000,000 out of the blind.  Sharon made the call and the hands were tabled:

Cimpan: 10♣ 10♥
Sharon: A♥ K♦

Flop: A♠ K♠ K♣
Turn: 10♠
River: 8♣

Things were pretty much over on the flop, but Cimpan gained a glimmer of hope on the turn, but he couldn't get the perfect-perfect turn and river.  The former WPT Champion and Player Of The Year was eliminated in 13th place, but we are sure to see him once again in the main event later this week.
