Cirstea Has Some Trouble Accepting That He Is Busto

How about a sit down and a nice cup of Cirs-tea?
How about a sit down and a nice cup of Cirs-tea?
Constantin Ciprian Cirstea (he listed himself as both Constantin Cirstea and Ciprian Cirstea at various different times, giving the media a variety of headaches and leading to the above compromise) raised, and the newly doubled up Georgios Kapalas reraised. Cirstea pushed, and without hesitation Kapalas called.

Cirstea: {A-Diamonds} {Q-Diamonds}
Kapalas: {K-Clubs} {K-Spades}

Board: {8-Clubs} {5-Spades} {Q-Hearts} {10-Diamonds} {J-Spades}

Cirstea stood there for a moment while the dealer started to rake his chips over to Kapalas. Only then did he claim, in perhaps a last desperate attempt to stay in the tournament, that Kapalas had not had him covered. It was far too late for angle-shooting, though, and the very professional dealer calmly explained that owing to his double up a few hands before, Kapalas had had 350,000 at the start of the hand, covering Cirstea by around 100,000. Cirstea gave it up, and exited the tournament area.
