"I'm Not a Donkey"

Jean-Robert Bellande just stopped me as I walked past him and asked me to clear something up for him. It was reported yesterday that he won a pot after reraising all in on a gutshot straight draw and hitting. This was true, but in our coverage we didn't report the suits of the cards he was holding. He was holding the {4-Diamonds} {3-Diamonds} which actually gave him a straight flush draw and therefore made his move a lot more feasible, and in most people's eyes, the correct play.

Jean-Robert has received a lot of flack from his buddies saying he played it like a donk. Let's hope he gets some peace now and support as we near the money in the Main Event.
