The Bellande Fake Out

[user38971]
[user38971]
Jean-Robert Bellande, seemingly, couldn't make up his mind whether or not he liked the cards he'd been dealt. After a player in early position raised preflop, Jean-Robert Bellande looked at his cards and acted as if he was going to shove all-in. And then retracted. And then made yet another all-in motion. And then retracted. Then looked at his cards and moved as if he was folding instead. And then retracted. Laughed, then acted like he was still going to fold, and then retracted. Finally, after four all-in fake outs and four folding fake outs, Jean- Robert Bellande moved all-in.

His opponent eagerly called and showed pocket jacks only to have Bellande turn over pocket aces. The aces held up, leaving Jean-Robert Bellande sitting with 23,000.
