Level 9 : 300/600, 75 ante

In the last hand before the color up break a monster hand developed on Table 1. The under the gun player limped, the button limped, Tristan Wade completed in the small blind and Jean-Robert Bellande checked in the big blind.

The flop came {2-Hearts} {6-Diamonds} {3-Diamonds} and action checked to the UTG player, who jammed for 11,300. The button called, Wade folded and Bellande also shoved, having over 46,000. The button called Bellande's all in and the hands were tabled.

UTG: {8-} {8-}
Button: {4-Diamonds} {5-Diamonds}
Bellande: {3-Clubs} {3-Spades}

The turn came {6-Hearts} and river fell {A-Diamonds}. Bellande's full house took both pots and is around 104,000.
