Level 15 : Blinds 50,000/100,000, 100,000 ante

Emilien Pitavy raised to 200,000 in the cutoff, Jean-Robert Bellande three-bet to 705,000 in the big blind, and Pitavy folded.

Pitavy again opened to 200,000 the next hand, and Bellande and Rob Yong called in the blinds.

All three players checked to the river on a board of 6♥4♦3♥A♣8♥. Yong then bet 600,000 and Pitavy folded.

"Seven makes a straight. I don't know why it's taking so long," Yong said to Bellande.

"Seven makes what? I might call you if you think that," Bellande replied.

He eventually folded, and Yong showed the 7♦ as he took the pot. "I misread the board," he admitted.

"This should be on TV," Daniel Rezaei added.

"We should be the feature table, with me, Rob, Jess, Danny, and Biao. How many eyeballs would be on that?" Jean-Robert Bellande said.

"JRB, you were famous 25 years ago," Rob Yong replied.

"I don't want to be famous. I was already famous. I just want to be rich," Bellande added.

Bellande then raised to 200,000 under the gun and Daniel Rezaei called in the big blind.

The flop came A♣9♠3♥ and Bellande continued for 100,000. Rezaei called, and they both checked the 3♠ turn.

Rezaei then led out for 150,000 on the 8♥ river. "Little blocker bet, buddy?" Bellande said as he moved all in, and Rezaei folded for his last 625,000.
