Bellande Does the Honorable Thing

[user42991]

At the end of the break, Hansu Chu did not show up to continue his heads up match with Jean-Robert Bellande. Bellande refused to continue playing until Chu returned. In fact, he didn't even take his seat. As a result, the blinds would just be moved around as both hands would be declared dead.

Chu returned within a couple of minutes and the heads-up match continued.
