Jean-Robert Bellande Doubles and Doubles

[user22113]

Nursing a short stack, Jean-Robert Bellande raised the rest of his chips with the {A-Spades}

{A-Spades}

{4-Diamonds}

and after one player called the board of {J-Diamonds}

{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}

{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}

{A-Diamonds}

{Q-Clubs}

outflopped his foe's {A-Spades}

{A-Spades}

{K-Clubs}

and Bellande held on to increase his stack to 5,200.
