Bellande Gets There

Jean-Robert Bellande got a short-stacked opponent all in for about 30,000 before the flop, and Bellande was poised to ship a courtesy double up:

Bellande: {10-Clubs} {10-Hearts}
Opponent: {A-Clubs} {A-Hearts}

Things were all cozy on the {4-Spades} {5-Spades} {3-Clubs}, and there was a big pause for the TV cameras to pan around the table before they signaled the dealer to proceed.

Turn: {10-Spades}

That's a hit for Bellande, and the {9-Clubs} river locked up the pot with trip tens. He's eliminated a shorty, chipping up to about 145,000.
