Jean-Robert Bellande was making the rounds of the room and stopped at Shaun Deeb's table. "Are you playing?" Deeb asked, and Bellande replied that he wasn't.
"What chance would I have at this table alone," Bellande said, pointing out that Deeb's table also included the likes of Mike Gorodinsky and Jason Mercier.
"Just look at the other tables and you'll want to play. Don't look at this table," Deeb replied.
Bellande eventually got to Phil Ivey's table and say hello to Bruno Fitoussi as Ivey and Dario Sammartino went heads-up to fourth street.
Both players checked to fifth where Sammartino bet. Ivey called that bet and another on sixth before Sammartino bet again on seventh. Ivey called once more.
Sammartino turned over A♦Q♣9♦ for a flush and Ivey mucked.
