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.
