On Sunday, the final six players from a 621-entry field returned to the Rio All-Suite Hotel & Casino to play down to a winner in the 2018 World Series of Poker Event #58: $5,000 No-Limit Hold'em Six-Handed. Before entering the tournament, Jean-Robert Bellande sent out a tweet.
"All this talk of me trying to finally get my 1st bracelet is a bit of a monkey on my back," the former Survivor contestant said. "I'm just gonna keep having fun and making outrageous calls."
Bellande, who had previously finished runner-up in two WSOP events, managed to get that monkey off his back in what was his 24th WSOP-related cash.
"Winning a bracelet in no-limit hold'em is an extra big surprise to me because it's not my best game," said Bellande, who sipped on a $400 bottle of Chateau Margaux 2013 Premier Grand Cru Classé while he played. "I've worked a lot on my game but I know I'm way behind the top-level players in that game. I would never ever dream my first bracelet would be in no-limit hold'em, but it makes it extra exciting for me."
He continued: "I had a blast. I had so much fun during this tournament, not just winning but mixing it up. Six-handed is cool because you're always in action. The guys were all fun. We just had a good time. Every day we just had a blast."
