We are in the money and the prolific Jean-Robert Bellande is still doing quite well in our constantly thinning field.

We came into this hand with about 30,000 already in the pot and a bet of 10,000 put out by Jean-Robert from the button on a board of {3-Spades}{7-Spades}{j-Clubs}{3-Clubs}. The late position player in the hand made the call.

The river was the {8-Hearts}, and the late position player checked to Jean-Robert who bet 32,000. The player ended up calling and JRB showed {a-Diamonds}{j-Diamonds} for top pair, top kicker.

He took down the pot and moved up to 165,000. After the hand Bellande turned to Sorel Mizzi who is sitting to his left and said, "Man, how about that bet sizing right? It was the perfect amount."

Bellande is on his game today and still sitting towards the top of our chip counts.
