Bellande Crippled

Level 4 : 75/150, 0 ante

Jean-Robert Bellande was down to just over 2,000 chips but got his money in three ways preflop and covered the two all in players. Bellande held {a-}{k-} and was in great shape against {k-}{4-} and {a-}{6-}. The flop was clean but the turn was a six. The river bricked off and Bellande was forced to give almost three-quarters of his stack to his opponent. All he could do is stare at the board and shake his head as the chips were slid the other way.
