Bellande Getting Aggro Preflop
Every pot is seemingly straddled or double straddled right now. Jean-Robert Bellande just turned the preflop aggression up big time and reaped a pair of pots.
First, Antonio Esfandiari made it $4,000 in middle position and Jennifer Tilly three-bet to $12,000 from the small blind. Bellande cold four-bet to $30,000 from the straddle, and only Tilly called. She check-folded the flop.
The next hand, Ivey straddled, Matthew Kirk made it $4,000 and got a couple of calls, and Bellande again popped to $30,000. This time, nobody tested him.
