Bellande Bounces Back

With a cutoff raise to 4,500 before him, Jean-Robert Bellande pushed his last 35,400 into the middle out of the small blind and the original raiser made the call.

Bellande: {A-Diamonds}{10-Diamonds}
Opponent: {A-Hearts}{K-Hearts}

"One time for the kid . . . it can happen," stated Bellande as the camera crew occupied the surround space.

"One time for the kid please!" screamed Bellande when the {5-Hearts}{K-Diamonds}{7-Diamonds} dropped.

The turn changed little when it dropped the {9-Hearts}, but when the river fell the {3-Diamonds} Bellande found his double to over 70,000 with a diamond-flush.

"Did this really happen to me?"

"I'm Jean-Robert . . . you didn't get the memo, dealer?"

"So this is what it's like . . . you know what . . . sucking out is a good thing . . . you just get it in with the worse and suck out."

As Bellande continued to rave on while the camera rolled, he finished with one last statement, "That might be all I needed!"
