Monroe vs. Bellande

[user66118]
[user66118]
The table of Jean-Robert Bellande and Teddy "The Iceman" Monroe has been providing us with some great conversation throughout play today. We picked up the most recent good-natured banter between the two men. It followed a pot in which The Iceman had bet 7,000 into a pot of 3,500. The board showed {A-?} {A-?} {7-?}, and Monroe ended up winning the pot with {K-?} {K-?}.

Bellande was less than impressed: "King-king bet 7K into a thirty-five hundred pot. Let's review the hand again."

"If you don't have an ace, what would you do? I'ma freeze you, sucka!" Teddy said. "You tryin' to get in my head, but it ain't workin'. I'm in your head."

Bellande humored him: "Ladies and gentlemen," he announced to the table, "It's official: Teddy is in my head." There was an elimination occurring at this exact moment on an adjacent table, yet ESPN's cameras remained fixed on the verbal tussle going on at this table. "I can't out-talk you. I'll let my chips and my cards do the talking."

Teddy was loving it. "Iceman needs more ice."
