Cimpan Doubles through Ferguson

Luck really hasn't been on Chris Ferguson's side today. He opened a pot from the cutoff for 125,000. Cornel Andrew Cimpan was next to act. He announced raise, cut out 125,000 and threw it into the pot, then looked at his remaining stack and said, "All in." Ferguson asked for a count (about 600,000 back to him) then called with {J-Clubs} {J-Diamonds}. Cimpan gave a short fist pump as he opened {A-Diamonds} {A-Clubs}. Those two aces matched up with another on the {3-Hearts} {A-Spades} {4-Hearts} flop. When the turn fell {K-Hearts}, Ferguson was drawing dead. He paid Cimpan off after the river {4-Spades} hit the board.
