Bellande Calls Kaverman Out for Playing Slow

Happy_Freaked

Level 4 : 2,500/5,000, 500 ante

"Hey Doc," Jean-Robert Bellande yelled to the table next to him at David "Doc" Sands. "I'll trade you for Isaac."

"What did I do?" Isaac Baron said quickly, before Bellande apologized.

"Oh sorry, I meant...?" Bellande said, but sort of asked because he blanked on the name.

"Byron," chimed in Sands.

"Yeah, Byron," said Bellande. "This guy makes me wish I hadn't bought into this event, it's just not fun. I'm serious!"

"I'll play faster, just for you," Byron Kaverman said with a smile.

Kaverman has a reputation for playing rather slow in hands he's involved in, but so does Sands, which is why Bellande was calling out Kaverman for playing slower than Sands.

"You're a speedy player compared to Byron," Bellande said to Sands, who received this compliment with a smile. The rest of the room began to laugh as well.

"I feel like the time clock is an encouragement for him to take forever," Bellande said to Cary Katz at another table, all while looking a bit annoyed at Kaverman. "It's like he lets it run down to 30 seconds because he knows he has another 30 seconds left!"

Bellande then turned his attention back to Sands.

"You know what, I apologize for every time I gave you a hard time about it," Bellande said to Sands.

"Well thank you!" Sands yelled back.

"At least he said he would play a bit faster for me," Bellande said.

"Take all the time you want!" yelled a loud voice from the opposite corner of the room.

When Bellande turned, he saw it was Bobby Baldwin yelling. The entire room started laughing, as Baldwin had been quiet for most of the day, but as Bellande was picking on Kaverman he decided to speak up.
