Jean-Robert Plays Ace-Deuce

Jean-Robert Bellande
Jean-Robert Bellande
We pick up a four-way pot on the turn as the board shows {9-Spades} {2-Spades} {2-Diamonds} {5-Diamonds}. Action was on Ben Gold, and he made a bet. Karen Longfellow made the call, and Jean-Robert Bellande raised it up. John Hennigan got out of the pot, as did Gold, but Longfellow came along.

The river was the {2-Clubs}. Bellande bet once more, and Longfellow called. Bobby turned over {A-Hearts} {2-Hearts} {6-Clubs} {4-Diamonds}, only really needing one of those cards to win. His quad deuces scoop it up, knocking Karen Longfellow down to 13,000.

Jean-Robert, on the other hand, must have had a fantastic dinner. Since he returned, he has been on an absolute tear, moving himself all the way up to 250,000. He and James Van Alstyne are now the only players in immediate contention for the chip lead with Scott Clements.
