Bellande Rebounding

Level 9 : 300/600, 0 ante

After slipping in chips, Jean-Robert Bellande found himself in the big blind facing a raise from the small blind. He decided to call and they saw a flop heads up.

When the flop came {A-Diamonds}{9-Diamonds}{6-Diamonds}, Bellande decided to raise his opponents bet. The player called and the turn came the {10-Spades}. This time the small blind check-called Bellande's bet. The river paired the board with the {9-Hearts} and both players checked.

Bellande announced, "I think I just got counterfeited," and showed his {A-Hearts}{J-Spades}{6-Spades}{7-Hearts}. Indeed his flopped two pair had been counterfeited and he played Aces and nines with a Jack kicker. However, his opponent also flopped the same two pair with {A-Clubs}{6-Clubs}{5-Spades}{2-Clubs} and had to play Aces and nines with a five kicker.

Bellande scooped the pot and sits with 16,000.
