Bellande Goes to War Preflop With an Eight

Bob Bright opened to $4,500 in the cutoff. Jean-Robert Bellande fired out $13,000 from the button. Phil Ivey cold-called, and Antonio Esfandiari made it $50,000 in the straddle. Bright mucked, and Bellande came back with $130,000 almost immediately. Ivey folded, as did Esfandiari.

Bellande said they could turn one card over, and the {8-Hearts} was revealed.

"Antonio can't have that many frickin' hands," Bellande said.

"Well-played," Esfandiari said.
