Jean-Robert Bellande Doubles and Doubles

Nursing a short stack, Jean-Robert Bellande raised the rest of his chips with the {A-Spades} {4-Diamonds} and after one player called the board of {J-Diamonds} {2-Clubs} {3-Clubs} {5-Clubs} {7-Spades} gave Bellande a wheel and the pot.

On the very next hand Bellande called a raise from the blind and, before the dealer spread the flop, went all-in blind. The flop came down {Q-Diamonds} {8-Diamonds} {7-Hearts} and the other player thought for awhile before reluctantly making the call. Both the call and the flop were to Bellande's liking--his {A-Diamonds} {Q-Clubs} outflopped his foe's {A-Spades} {K-Clubs} and Bellande held on to increase his stack to 5,200.

Humberto Brenes Eliminated

Humberto Brenes
Humberto Brenes
Humberto said he never bluffs, and he didn't bluff on his final hand either. He just didn't have enough chips not to make his stand with pocket fours, and he was called down by the player in the big blind holding {A-Hearts} {Q-Hearts}. A Queen flashed on the flop, and so Humberto can go have that nap he mentioned a few hands ago.

Some Side Action

Gavin Smith and Jason Strasser have made some interesting prop bets to keep from getting bored.

If a deuce flops, Strasser gives Gavin $100. If a three flops, Gavin gives Strasser $100.

If two deuces flop Strasser gives Gavin $500. If two treys flop then Gavin gives Strasser $500.

If THREE of either deuces or treys flop, then the bet is $1000.

Phil Hellmuth

Roland de Wolfe walks past Phil Hellmuth's table, looks at his chips and says, "Three to one says you don't make the dinner break."

Phil takes the bet, saying "Don't you know I have made the dinner break in 80% of the events at the World Series?"

Phil is busy promoting his new energy drink, drinking one himself and handing them out to anyone who will take one.

Sebok Out... Well, Almost

On a flop of {2-Hearts}{5-Clubs}{J-Diamonds}, Joe Sebok calls an all-in bet with {K-Hearts}{J-Spades} only to find the all-in player with {Q-Hearts}{Q-Clubs}. The turn and river don't improve Joe and he walks away from the table. They cut down the chips and it turns out he has just under 1000 remaining.

He was last seen walking out of the Amazon Room.

Freddy Deebs Wins a Big Pot

After a player limped under the gun Freedy Deeb raised to 800 and was called. The flop came {2-Spades} {J-Clubs} {6-Diamonds} and Deeb called the other player's 1200 bet. Deeb also called a 2500 bet after the {8-Clubs} on the turn, and then both players hit the brakes after the {4-Diamonds} on the river. Deeb's {A-Spades} {Q-Hearts} outkicked his opponent's {K-Diamonds} {Q-Diamonds} and Deeb won with Ace-high, increasing his stack to 12,500.
