Jean-Robert Bellande's Poker Prediction: A Moment of Magic


Jean-Robert Bellande made poker history by correctly predicting both of his hole cards in a recent episode of High Stakes Poker. The incident occurred when the dealer mistakenly dealt several cards out of order, which Jean-Robert quickly noticed. Despite the misdeal being resolved promptly, Jean-Robert confidently stated that he would receive a pair of Queens, and his prediction came true. He went on to win a significant pot against Brin Kenney.

Chris Moneymaker tweeted that Jean-Robert Bellande's prediction was impressive, even Phil Ivey couldn't hide his surprise. Sean Deib recalled that Matt Marafioti, who took his own life due to mental health issues, also made a similar prediction during a WSOP final table. Matt had shown his pair of nines to Phil Ivey, who was visibly shocked.

Daniel Negreanu correctly predicted that Sean Sheikhan had three Queens during a hand in High Stakes Poker. Roberto Romanello folded a full house against Greg Geller during a WSOP main event. Ian Steinman made a significant fold during the final table of the WPT Rolling Thunder in 2018. Troy Colgston correctly predicted all five community cards in a hand during a $400 tournament.

I've spent years at the tables — cash and tournaments — and just as long shaping poker copy behind the scenes: room reviews, bonus fine print, tournament notes. At PokerInsider I write the way I wish more sites would: clear structure, honest trade-offs, no hype. Whether you're new or already grinding, I care about what the offer actually costs you — rake, variance, and the fine print — and I treat responsible play as part of the job, not a footnote.
