Watch Busting Out of the $1,500 NLH Jean-Robert Sounds Off on RawVegas.tv
Jean-Robert Bellande has the right idea. When things are going bad, release some of the tension with a good rubdown.

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
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.

:: Event #52 ($1,500 No Limit Hold’em) - Pro
:: Event #53 ($1,500 Limit Hold’em Shoot-out) - Survivor’s Jean-Robert Bellande could’ve put away The Year of the ProTM race with a win, but he came up just short of his first bracelet. JRB lost heads-up to Matt Graham, who is arguably pro material with four cashes in this year’s World Series of Poker. Graham banks $278,180 for the win. Get full payouts here.
Main Event starts tomorrow at noon PST. Check back with WickedChopsPoker.com for regular updates.
