He Is an Actor, After All

Three players, including Jean-Robert Bellande and Vince Van Patten, saw a flop come {10-Diamonds}{8-Hearts}{6-Hearts}, and all three checked. The turn was the {Q-Spades}. The first player bet out, Bellande folded, and Van Patten made the call.

The river brought the {4-Clubs} and a check from the first to act. Van Patten promptly fired a bet of 50,000 -- around the size of the pot -- and his opponent folded. Van Patten showed his hand as the chips were pushed his way: {A-Clubs}{J-Spades}.

"Vince!" said Bellande at the sight of Van Patten's cards. "I made a couple of what I thought were nice laydowns to you before... now I'm not so sure," he grinned.

Van Patten moves up to 255,000.
