Bellande Inches Back Up

After a player raised to 300 from middle position and Christopher Barnes called out of the small blind, Jean-Robert Bellande reraised to 1,200 from the big blind. The middle-position players folded and Barnes made the call.

"Jack deuce again?" asked Bellande, referring to a previous hand where Barnes called a preflop raise with {J-?} {2-?} against Bellande and flopped trip jacks to upset Bellande.

A simple "Nope." was all Barnes offered in response.

The flop came down {9-Hearts} {8-Hearts} {2-Hearts} and Barnes checked. Bellande quickly tossed out 1,300. Barnes folded, letting Bellande take this one down.

Barnes dropped slightly to 20,000 while Bellande inched back up and is sitting on 14,400.
