Jean-Robert

Jean-Robert
Age: 36
Home Town: Las Vegas, NV
Occupation: Professional Poker Player

Born in Long Island, N.Y., Jean-Robert Bellande considers himself international as he is the son of French-speaking Haitian immigrants that raised him in Asia. Bellande is a professional poker player (his televised tournaments include the 2005 Rio Circuit Event, 2005 U.S. Poker Championship, Ballbreakers 2005 and the 2005 World Poker Tournament's "Bad Boys of Poker"). In 2005, he was ranked as high as the Number 6 Card Player in the world.

Bellande first made a name for himself promoting some of Los Angeles' hottest nightclubs including the Roxbury, Tatou of Beverly Hills and the Gate. He then opened up his own Hollywood night spot, Sky Sushi, which he ran for five years. He has a Bachelor of Science degree in Marketing from Azusa Pacific University. He describes himself as charismatic, fun and loud. He is most proud of making it to the final table at the World Series Of Poker (WSOP) Circuit Event where he pocketed a whopping $210,000, and has now pocketed over $700,000 in tournament winnings. Bellande's hobbies are playing poker, playing pool and hitting the nightclubs. His favorite sport is soccer. He enjoys playing tennis and basketball. If he could take three non-survival items with him to location, he'd bring a deck of cards, poker chips and a dealer!

Bellande currently resides in Las Vegas. His birth date is Sept. 17, 1970.

Feels like I'm repeating myself, but Jean-Robert spent his HS years in Taiwan.(His mom or both parents were missionaries there.) He told us he could speak Chinese(Mandarin, the official one)in one of those short promotes ran during commercial breaks, that could mean he can't write in it, right?

JP had a lot to say when it comes to Bobby. He's big,.... he had strange strategy, .... he didn't know anything about the show/game!

In any rate, I want to watch him in action! :-)

He'll be putting his much questioned strategy to use come this Thursday. Jeff said it's a good one but it might not work in this situation...

He's on TV tonight. For the rest of the week, he is on NBC's Poker After Dark, which airs around 3:30 am at least in Seattle.

Poker After Dark is a tournament of some of the best poker professionals, and they play for a winner-take-all 120,000$ prize. It's cool because it's more about their table talk, more than most other poker shows. Then, on Saturday nights, the do the "Director's Cut" of the show, where they speed up the actual hand footage, and do more personal interviews with the players about what they were thinking in each hand.

Even though one may not be into poker, it's still a fun show. AND Jean Robert will be on it.
