Angelil Rivers the Boat

With 4,700 in the pot and the board reading {4-Clubs}{3-Diamonds}{2-Diamonds}{4-Spades}{J-Hearts} on the river, the UTG player bet 2,000 and Rene Angelil raised to 7,000, only to have his opponent come back over the top for 12,000. Angelil made the call.

Angelil turned over {J-Clubs}{J-Diamonds} for the rivered nut boat while his opponent showed {A-Hearts}{4-Hearts}. Some were scratching their heads as to why Angelil elected simply to call in that spot rather than reraise with what was essentially the nuts, but nevertheless he's up to 41,000.
