Bellande Does the Honorable Thing

Share on Twitter Share on Facebook

At the end of the break, Hansu Chu did not show up to continue his heads up match with Jean-Robert Bellande. Bellande refused to continue playing until Chu returned. In fact, he didn't even take his seat. As a result, the blinds would just be moved around as both hands would be declared dead.

Chu returned within a couple of minutes and the heads-up match continued.
