Picking up the action on the turn, Jean-Robert Bellande called a bet from Hansu Chu on a board of {K-Clubs} {10-Clubs} {7-Clubs} {2-Diamonds}. The river was the {5-Hearts} and Bellande bet out and Chu called, leaving himself with only 1,000 behind.

Bellande turned up {K-Diamonds} {7-Diamonds} for two pair and Chu held {K-Hearts} {J-Diamonds}. Chu commented on how Bellande comes from behind in every hand to get there and take the pot. Bellande clapped his hands together in excitement, but Chu was quick to alert him that he still had 1,000 left and it wasn't over.

On the next hand, the two players were all in blind, with Chu on the line and holding {8-Clubs} {5-Diamonds}. Bellande held {7-Clubs} {4-Clubs}.

The board ran out {K-Diamonds} {9-Clubs} {A-Clubs} {7-Spades} {J-Hearts} and Bellande's pair of sevens were good enough to get him to the final table.
