on the river.
Shack-Harris bet and was reluctantly called to show 
for the straight to win the pot.

"I don't know what I had on the flop but I do know I had a straight on the river."
Those were the words of Jean-Robert Bellande, who, on a board of 
, found a king with his 
to knock both Benny Glaser and John Hennigan out. "Johnny World" had 
open in front of him, while Glaser's hand was already face-down in the muck.
"I wanted to fold on the turn, but then I thought I could catch a king, and maybe a ten, so I check-called. On the river, I decided to bet," Bellande spoke after the hand. With the double knock-out, Bellande moved up to 240,000.
