Jinxing Bellande

"Hey bro!", Jean-Robert Bellande shouted at yours truly who walked over and received a friendly fist bump. We noticed Bellande was in a hand and wrote down the action. The board read {4-Clubs}{8-Diamonds}{4-Diamonds}{Q-Clubs} and Bellande check-raised his opponent all-in for 6,675. After the call we saw the following showdown:

Jean-Robert Bellande{4-Spades}{6-Spades}
Opponent{8-Spades}{8-Clubs}

The river was the {J-Hearts} and Bellande lost a big pot. "Thanks!", he said sarcastically, "You can go now" he laughed as his opponent was stacking the new found chips. Bellande is still doing very well with a 27,000 chip stack, but he isn't likely to call over anymore reporters today!
