He was the chip leader at the table with around 800,000 in chips. He could afford to gamble a bit. Regarding the hand shake. I actually did shake Bellande's hand, but for some reason ESPN edited it out. It appears on TV that I got dissed by Bellande though, lol bye bye, lol Regarding the 9To, nobody at the table was very suprised that the big Russian called Bellande’s all in raise.

I dunno...just looked pretty donkish but hey..he is Russian. Well from the way it looked he would have been crippled had he not gotten lucky on that runner runner straight.

how awesome was the “bye-bye” btw?

What do folks think about the 9To hand the donkey Russian quickly called a ~96k all in from Bellande pre flop?

Is Hellmuth as much of a douche when the cameras or any form of media are not around?
