Level 12 : Blinds 2,000/4,000, 6,000 ante

Gus Hansen registered at the break and took his seat at a table with Jean-Robert Bellande and Benny Glaser.

"Hey FBT," Bellande shouted out to Greg Mueller at another table. "I told Benny that it's incredible to navigate through two $1,500 fields. Then I asked Gus if he's ever won a $1,500 event, and he said he's never played one," Bellande added.

Bellande then raised to 10,000 on the button and Ali Eslami called in the big blind. Eslami drew one, while Bellande took two.

Eslami then led out for 10,000 and Bellande called. Eslami showed Kx10x5x4x3x. "Oh my God," Bellande said, shaking his head as he mucked.
