'We'll Buy the Kid Dinner'

Philiip Yeh raised to 3000 before Jean-Robert Bellande reraised to 10,000. Not one to be pushed around, Philip Yeh raised again, for all his chips. Bellande then opened up 'The first time I'm going to make the money in this tournament and this is the situation I find myself in'. 'It's just outside the money too' he adds.

'I'll show you' responds Yeh. 'You had ace nine the last time you said that' Bellande fires back.

All the the time this is going on Bellande is holding up pocket jacks so all behind can see. His decision is made harder by Greg 'FTB' Mueller and Raymond Davis goading him on and singing from the next table.

The pressure seems to get too much and he folds. Yeh keeps his word and tables ace queen. Davis and Mueller are loving the situation and Yeh's play and offer to buy him dinner for making Bellande sweat so much and fold.
