Bellande Gets Creative

After butting heads with a player earlier and getting sucked-out on, Jean-Robert Bellande found himself heads up against the same player on a flop of {A-Hearts} {8-Hearts} {5-Hearts}. Bellande led out for 1,300 and his opponent raised him to 2,750. Bellande thought about calling, removed the 1,450 it would take to call from his chip stack, then stuck another 1,450 on top of it. Bellande then moved the 2,900 in chips to the top of his chip stack, then wrapped his hands around all of his chips as if to shove all in. Immediately after, he looked up at his opponent to see his reaction.

Bellande then shifted the chip stack to the left, then looked at his opponent again. Bellande moved the stack to the right and glanced again at his opponent. Ulitimately, after dancing his chip stack around a few more times, Bellande moved all in. His opponent quickly folded. Bellande smiled and took down the pot.
