Conley and Billirakis Advance

Broke Living Made the Money
Jean-Robert Bellande has won his table and will be moving on. There were two hands that led to his opponent's felting. As we approached the table we heard, "Based on your lines from earlier, I know I need to open up my calling range."
When one hears that Bellande is opening his game, one stays.
It was an all in preflop where Bellande held 
and his opponent held . The board ran 
and Bellande doubled up his opponent's short stack.
Just two hands later all the money got in after the flop. This time Bellande had the worst of it holding against 
. The flop ran 
[ 7d] 
but the diamond on came on the turn when it completed 
.
"That's how I win I guess. Get it in bad and come out on top," Bellande said.

Go on, James
