Bellande Can't Believe It

Jean-Robert Bellande's table had shrunk down to just seven players so they temporarily stopped play to wait and ask a tournament staff director to issue new players to the table. After the brief pause, Bellande was quite happy to look down and see pocket kings. He was able to get a player in the big blind to get all his money in preflop, who showed A-K. The board came {4-Diamonds} {3-Clubs} {Q-Spades} {9-Diamonds} {A-Spades} and Bellande became quite upset over the suck-out.

"I don't f#cking believe this! Every f#cking time on the river! Why does it always happen to me?" he yelled. Fortunately for Bellande, no tournament staff was around to hear the language. Bellande's been doing quite while today and even after losing the 4,000 pot he still has 9,000 chips in front of him.
