Bellande Doubles Up Sar
Jean Robert Bellande, as is his wont, has been in a talkative mood today. He limped into a pot from late position behind Laurence Hughes, then was facing an all-in shove of 80,000 from Alper Sar. Hughes folded to the shove, leaving Bellande in "a spot".

"I did not fold an ace," Hughes told Bellande.
"That's either some support or a needle if it doesn't show up," Bellande responded. It must have been a needle, because the board developed -- just enough to give Bellande some hope. The river , however, was not one of Bellande's multitude of outs. He's down to 550,000 now.
