2009 LA Poker Classic
Andrew Cimpan outlasted Binh Nguyen in an epic heads-up battle.
Baby-faced Binh kept on getting the chips in good, but the cards really werent running for him.
In the final hand the players were all in pre-flop with Cimpan on Kc 5c and Nguyen on Ad 9d, but the board played out 5h 3s Tc Td 4s, to give Cimpan the win.
