Bellande Booms, Busts Payan

Jean Robert Bellande
Jean Robert Bellande

There was already a large pot brewing preflop between Jean-Robert Bellande in the small blind and Elie Payan in the big blind before the flop came down {A-Hearts}{J-Clubs}{5-Hearts} and Bellande led for 5,000. Payan moved all in and Bellande made the call.

Bellande: {A-Spades}{Q-Clubs}
Payan: {K-Hearts}{K-Spades}

Bellande was behind preflop against his Payan’s pair of kings but stormed into the lead when he paired his ace on the flop. The {2-Spades} on the turn and {4-Clubs} on the river came safe for Bellande as he knocked out Payan and boosted his stack

After the hand, Raymond Davis, who was on the table behind, said something about Bellande getting it all in preflop with {A-}{Q-} which wasn't the case and which Bellande pointed out. The floor then asked the them to break it up but Davis responded with, “Oh, its okay, (Bellande’s) just being an a**hole” and for that he received a one round penalty.
