Jean-Robert Bellande Hits Pocket Aces Twice in High Stakes Poker

Jean-Robert Bellande had an extraordinary session on High Stakes Poker, being dealt pocket aces twice. In the first hand, Jean-Robert Bellande raised to $7,000 with pocket aces after Daniel Negreanu opened the betting with QsTs. Jennifer Tilly re-raised to $30,000 with AsKd, and Jean-Robert Bellande re-raised again to $85,000. Jennifer Tilly folded her hand, and Jean-Robert Bellande only won the $57,000 that was already in the pot, missing out on a potentially massive payout. In the second hand, Jean-Robert Bellande was in early position with pocket aces. Stanley Choi opened the betting with KcQd, and Jean-Robert Bellande raised to $27,000. Stanley Tang, who was sitting next to Choi, then re-raised all-in for $85,000 with JcJh. Choi folded, and Jean-Robert Bellande quickly called. The two players decided to run the hand twice. On the first run, the board came 9h Ad Jh 6d 5h, which was a dream flop for Jean-Robert Bellande, as he had a set of aces and Tang had only one out, the remaining jack. On the second run, the board came 2d 4s 5c 8c 5s, which didn't improve either player's hand. Jean-Robert Bellande's set of aces held up, and he won the pot worth $185,000, the largest of the show.
