Racolta Doubles Through Anghel

Level 20 : 10,000/20,000, 3,000 ante

Andrei Racolta had been very quiet in the last few hours and just open-shoved on the outer table. Vasile Valentin Anghel in the small blind asked for a count, and once it was deemed to be for 276,000, he reshoved to force Bogdan Diaconu in the big blind out of the pot.

Andrei Racolta: {Q-Spades}{Q-Hearts}
Vasile Valentin Anghel: {A-Diamonds}{J-Hearts}

The board of {K-Hearts}{6-Diamonds}{2-Clubs}{7-Spades}{K-Spades} changed nothing whatsoever and Racolta doubled to send Anghel into the short stack role.
