Hellmuth vs Bellande
Jean-Robert Bellande was on the button and raised to 2,300 after action folded to him. The small blind folded and Phil Hellmuth made the call from the big blind for 1,500 more.
Hellmuth checked in the dark and the flop came 
. Bellande bet 4,000 and Hellmuth called. The 
on the turn was checked by Hellmuth, allowing Bellande to bet 10,000.
"How much do you have left?" Hellmuth asked. As Bellande was counting his chips, Hellmuth said, "Alright, I'm all in." It would have cost Bellande around 34,000 to make the call, almost the same amount he had left.
Once Bellande tossed his cards in the muck, Hellmuth jibbed, "You know I love you, right? You want me to show you the nuts?"
Bellande was clearly irritated and said it didn't matter. Hellmuth then flipped over the 
for a straight.
"Some of us get there and some of us don't," fumed Bellande, "That is why you have eleven bracelets and I have none."
Hellmuth is up to 60,000 while Bellande drops to 35,000.

"How much you have left?" asked Hellmuth.
Bellande sat there looking blankly at the board before parting his hands so that Hellmuth could view in full sight his chip stack.
"What's the total?" Hellmuth asked the dealer as the dealer cut down Bellande's stack to total 25,400.
"Small bets mean nothing" stated Hellmuth as he tossed in a 3,800-chip bet which Bellande called before both players checked the 
on the river.
Bellande tabled his 
and Hellmuth asked, "what he have?"
Hellmuth nodded his head and flashed his 
before folding to slip to 54,000 as Bellande began to rake in the pot to climb back to 48,000.
"Your small bets mean nothing Phil" Bellande added.
"All those guys that watch poker VT are wasting their time. If they want to play perfect poker they should just put a camera behind me. I couldn't of played that hand any better," Bellande finished off much to the amusement of the rail and fellow table combatants.
