Action folded to the player in the hijack seat and he raised to 13,000. Jean-Robert Bellande, who finished in 78th place last year for $94,942, reraised all in from the small blind for 80,500. The big blind folded and then the hijack made the call.

Bellande tabled the {Q-Spades}{4-Spades} after making a move. His opponent held the {A-Clubs}{J-Diamonds} and Bellande acknowledged the good call he made.

Just as the dealer went to start dealing out the board, Bellande, who is sitting in the nine seat, put his arm in front of the dealer and said, "Wait, you're going to have to wait for the cameras. They're going to want to get this one."

The dealer announced the all in and then Bellande said to the camera crew that looked in the table's direction, "I'm all in!" After that, the crew rushed to the scene.

The dealer first dealt the flop and it came down {Q-Hearts}{4-Clubs}{3-Diamonds}, giving Bellande the lead with two pair. The turn brought a sweat with the {5-Clubs} and Bellande mentioned that he couldn't get excited just yet. The river landed with the {10-Hearts} and Bellande gave a few subtle fist pumps in celebration as he's back to about 170,000 now.
