Jean-Robert Bellande Eliminated on Bubble
"I would say good luck, but $17,000 means a lot to me," said Bellande. "And I know you know that." Bellande then added that what Musso didn't know was that he had been staked.
Each player opened his hand. Bellande showed 9-7-5-2; Musso tabled 7-6-3-2. Musso pulled a 9 to make 9-7-6-3-2. That left Bellande looking for a 3, a 4, or a 6 to stay alive. He pulled an 8, shook Musso's hand, and left the table and the tournament as the bubble boy.
