Watch Jean-Robert Bellande On His Way To Work on RawVegas.tv
Jean-Robert Bellande is back to vlogging and talks about the sick action going on in Bobby’s Room right now.
Phil Ivey and crew are apparently playing $8,000-16,000 2-7 triple draw and $2,000-4,000 PLO. Every pot is in the couple hundred thousand range. So much for the down The Economy
TM.
As for JRB, his bankroll is up a couple thousand after playing the $200-400 mixed game at the Bellagio. So he’s not totally broke living like a millionaire right now, at least.

This first WSOPE event of 2008 is shaping up to be a good one.
Daniel Negreanu ended Day 1A of WSOPE Event #1 (£1,500 No Limit Hold’em) as the chip leader, stacked at 74,900. He’s followed by Jason Gray with 72,800. Brandon Cantu is not far behind with 54,200. Among the other 42 who survived to Day 2 include John Juanda (27,000), Surinder (French?) Sunar (14,200), and Erik Seidel (7,000).
Day 1B has started and lots of big names are among the early chip leaders. The awesomely named Azzy Asghar is current chip leader with 15,000. He’s followed by Howard Stern’s love-child Isaac Haxton (14,975), Jean-Robert Bellande (14,100), Allen Cunningham (12,600), and the absolutely positively must be Britishly named Simon Higgins (12,500).

Shannon Elizabeth needs to show more leg at the 2008 WSOP Main Event. What’d we lose a war? Is this Pakistan?
Hopefully we’re not jumping the gun on this one as there is still an hour to go…but with many big name big stacks on Day 1D of the 2008 WSOP Main Event and few big knock-outs, let’s just say that The Year of the ProTM didn’t even have to use its AK.
With an hour to go, some big names with lots of chips include Carlos Mortensen, Aaron Kanter, Johnny Chan (who has done nothing funny this WSOP), Antonio Esfandiari, Jean-Robert Bellande (watch him pwn Charles Barkley again here), Gus Hansen, Allen Cunningham, Jen Harman, a woman, and Phil Hellmuth and his ego.
Also still alive though not thriving include Beth Shak (a woman), Jerry Yang, and Shannon Elizabeth and her legs (unfortunately not seen above).
Notable bust outs include Phil Ivey, David Williams, Chris “Jesus” Ferguson, Annie Duke, a woman, Patrick Bruel (has a hot girlfriend), Vinnie Vinh, Eskimo Clark, Tom Schneider, our favorite scarf-wearing Euro Dario Minieri, Michael “The Grinder” Mizrachi, Shaniac, and Layne Flack.
Guys who could kick our asses but won’t be around the Rio to do so because they’re out on Day 1D are Forrest Griffin, Chuck Liddell and Jose Canseco.
