It's Not His Money

After the hijack seat raised to 1,200, Jean-Robert Bellande made it 4,000 to go from the button. Action folded to Joe Tehan in the big blind and he went into the tank. A minute or so passed before Tehan put in a raise to 14,500. The hijack seat folded and then action fell back on Bellande.

Gazing at Tehan's stack Bellande said, "How much did you start the day with, Joe?"

"A little over 28." was the response.

A few moments passed by with Bellande pondering his decision. "I think you're on a move, I think you're on a move." he said. "I'm so ridiculously certain you're on a move."

Another minute passed by before Bellande said, "It's not my money so I'm all in." Tehan quickly called as he had put in the majority of his stack already with his raise.

The climax turned out to be a big dud as both players tabled {A-?} {K-?}. The board ran out {Q-Hearts} {9-Spades} {5-Spades} {10-Spades} {J-Spades} and with neither playing holding a spade, the dealer chopped up the pot.
