Event 53 - Final Table - It's Ovah! Bellande Loses!
1 year ago
Jean Robert Bellande had Matt Graham down to $300,000 at one point and it was time for tequila! Bellande ordered shots of Patron for all of his cronies on the rail. Some people believe in jinxes and others don't, but tonight might have made a believe out of Bellande after all.
After taking a much needed (for all parties involved) twenty minute break, the two returned to play with Graham sporting a nearly 2-1 chip advantage.Though it looked like this match might never end, it took just 10 minutes or so for this event to be in the books.
Jean Robert got off to a bad start after returning from break when he blew a large chunk of his stack on a jack high rainbow board. Graham turned up J-9 for top pair weak kicker but Bellande mucked!
A couple of minutes after that, Bellande got all in preflop and turned up 9-7 offsuit to Graham's A
J. The board helped neither player and all of a sudden it was all over!
According to the payscale, JRB received $173,564 for his second place finish while Matt Graham earned $278,180 for the win. That's not exactly what happened. For the real scoop, check out the interview!

Event 53 - Final Table - The Duel!
1 year ago
Jean Robert Bellande's celebrations might have not been excessive but they were certainly premature. After having Graham crushed with a $2,400,000 to $300,000 chip lead, Graham battled back and are they are now almost even in chips. They have also traded the chip lead back and forth several times over the last level and a half.
Graham Takes the lead
After action on all streets the board ended up being J
T 3 J 2 and Bellande fired once again. Graham raised and Bellande made a crying call. Graham showed the A for the nuts and Bellande showed the K and threw his cards in the muck.
Unintentional Slow Roll
Bellande check called a bet from Graham on a board of 9 5 5. The same thing happened on the turn and river when they came out 6 and 8.
"I have an eight," said Graham and turned over 8
6
.
Bellande turned up the A 8 and a little confusion broke out. Bellande stood up and reached over the chips trying to drag the pot. The dealer realized that Graham had made a bigger two pair. It was an honest mistake and Graham apologized. Bellande slumped back in his chair and looked towards his friends on the rail.
"An unintentional slowroll now?" he asked.
