Jean-Robert Bellande Crippled, Then Busted

We pick up the action on the flop. Jean-Robert Bellande and one other player see the board reading {5-Clubs} {9-Diamonds} {6-Clubs}. Bellande bets 775, and his opponent calls.

The turn is the {K-Hearts}. The unknown player bets out all in into Bellande. Jean-Robert calls, showing {J-Diamonds} {9-Spades}. His opponent tables {K-Clubs} {10-Clubs}. The river {2-Spades} is no help to Bellande, and he is crippled all the way down to just 75 chips.

Bellande tripled up right after that with {A-Spades} {2-Clubs} (his ace high won a three-way pot), but then was eliminated a short time later with {7-Hearts} {8-Spades}.
