Don't Bluff the Donkey

John Robert Bellande
John Robert Bellande

No Limit Hold'em

While walking through the sections here we noticed Jean-Robert Bellande involved in a large pot. The board read {8-Spades}{5-Clubs}{10-Diamonds}{j-Hearts}{2-Diamonds} and Bellande faced a bet of about 3,500 after his opponent on the button had gone all in. Bellande went into the tank for a few moments before announcing call.

The button player flipped over {A-Spades}{k-Hearts} for a very strong ace high. Bellande countered with {Q-Hearts}{8-Hearts}, a pair of eights and the winning hand.

Bellande then gave the table a lesson in playing against him by saying "don't bluff a donkey".
