Cornel Cimpan has rounded off an already impressive year by winning WPT Foxwoods, his second WPT title of the year. In February he won the LA Poker Classic for $1.6m.

Cimpan started the final as chipleader but had a tough final table to negotiate. Both Kohlberg and Shamseddin were previous WPT final tablists and Froehlich was a dual-WSOP bracelet holder.

In the early stages of the final table, Cimpan stayed well away from the action and watched as the two short stacks - Markholt and Kohlberg - were eliminated, followed by Froehlich who lost his race against Shamseddin.

As play got down to three-handed, Cimpan began to open up his play more but took a huge hit when he lost a 3 million pot against Shamseddin.
