Episode 76: Jean-Robert Bellande
What do you get when you mix $5 million downswings, pool degenning in Hollywood, nightclub deals with celebrities, and high-stakes poker in Vegas? You get Jean-Robert Bellande.
In this episode, JRB tells us about:
- Getting staked by Tom Dwan
- Pool games for $20,000
- Teaching Robl how to be better for the game
- His time running games in Prague with a sauna in his bedroom
- And the $270,000 blind call that actually happened
No fluff. No B.S. Just the real stories from a guy who’s lived five lives and still smiles through it all.
