Every Rosen Has its Thorns

Hold'em

Cornel Cimpan opened with a raise to 20,000 first in from the button. In the small blind was Jamie Rosen, and he stacked out a re-raise to make it 55,000 straight. After Cimpan got the count, he announced, "All in," (for 176,000) and Rosen snap-called.

Showdown
Cimpan: {K-Diamonds}

Rosen:

The flop was no help to the at-risk Cimpan, coming down {10-Spades}

. Salvation would come on the turn though, as the {K-Spades}

improved him to the leading pair of kings. Rosen now needed a queen or a spade to eliminate his foe, but the {6-Clubs}

was a river blank.

Rosen looked none too pleased as he cut out a hunk of chips and sent most of his stack over to Cimpan. Rosen has fallen all the way down to 80,000 after that encounter, while Cimpan is approaching 400,000.
