JRB Advances in Dramatic Fashion
Jean-Robert Bellande and Michael Ross were practically even in chips when they got it all in on a 
board both holding a straight. However, Bellande had 
and was freerolling if a club hit the river. Lo and behold, the river came the 
and Bellande won with a flush!
After counting down their stacks, Ross had Bellande covered by 475 chips. Ross proceeded to double up in three consecutive hands when he and Bellande decided to get it all in preflop blind and got his stack back up to 3,900.
Finally, Bellande opened the button to 2,000 and Ross went all in. Bellande called and their hands were turned up.
Bellande: 
Ross: 
The board ran out 
and Bellande rivered a pair of tens for the win.
Other recent winners include Jean Gaspard, Louis Helm and Dominik Nitsche.
