A Strange Hand for Bellande

Jean-Robert Bellande raised to 150 from middle position and got called by the big blind before we saw a flop of {K-Diamonds}{9-Spades}{3-Spades}.

The big blind led for 250 and Bellande called, bringing the {J-Spades} on the turn. Both players checked, and checked again when the {6-Diamonds} hit the river.

When the big blind mucked, Bellande reached for the pot, but didn't want to show his cards. When the floor was called and Bellande was forced to open his hand, he sheepishly showed {9-Clubs}{4-Clubs}.
