Eslami Kills Bellande's Vibe

Level 12 : 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante
Jean Robert Bellande

No-Limit Hold'em

"How rich are you?" Jean-Robert Bellande shouted over to Brandon Cantu.

"Once I win this tournament I'll have locked up a seat in our game for life," shouted back Cantu.

"Don't tease me!" said Bellande. "Cantu is the only pro with a permanent seat in my game."

Daniel Negreanu had started crowding around Bellande with his vlogging camera. Bellande had checked a {a-Diamonds}{6-Clubs}{8-Spades}{a-Clubs} board and Ali Eslami had checked behind.

Bellande let out an excited squeal as the {a-Hearts} hit on the river. He immediately bet 50,000 and after a short tank Eslami called.

"You called?!" said Bellande tabling {6-Diamonds}{5-Diamonds} for a full house. Eslami rolled over {j-Clubs}{j-Spades} for a better full house.

"You having fun JRB?" asked Negreanu.

"I was until he called me with jacks!" replied Bellande. "He's just killed my vibe!"
