[h=4]Jean-Robert Bellande[/h] [h=2]Arrested In Las Vegas[/h] [h=3]Handcuffed and hauled off.[/h] <figure><figcaption>JRBusted!</figcaption></figure> Professional poker player Jean-Robert Bellande was reportedly pulled over and arrested on the Las Vegas strip, in front of the Bellagio, early this morning.
According to Las Vegas Metropolitan Police records, Bellande was nabbed for “expired license plates” and “unlawful acts financial responsibility” – which we believe to be related to lack of proof of insurance. JRB is ridin’ dirty!!
Let’s hope that Bellande isn’t as broke as he claims as his bail was set at $15,700 – requiring him to pony up 10% or $1570 in cold hard cash.
The incident looks to involve his now famous “JRBROKE” Bentley which was allegedly won and/or paid for in the Dan Bilzerian high-stakes home game. Reports that after Bellande was hauled off, his Bentley was put on a flatbed and towed away as well.
The whole ordeal came to light on Two Plus Two when poster “FireworKKing” (aka Tim Bennett), who witnessed the arrest, had this to say say about it.

Jean-Robert Bellande
Bellande is best known outside the poker world for appearing on "Survivor: China," the show's 15th season, which aired in 2007. He was the eighth contestant voted out.
He also gained attention for his Twitter account @brokelivingjrb, where he chronicles the exploits of being "broke but living like a millionaire." Despite that self-description, Bellande has done well in cash games at the Aria, owned by MGM, where he is an "ambassador" for the poker room.
Bellande outlasted 82 of the best players in the world, each of whom put up $50,000 for the right to compete at a variety of poker games. The tournament includes 10 variants of poker. That includes games as common as Texas Hold 'em and seven-card-stud, and as rare as Badugi, a game where players hands' include only four cards at a time.
The tournament started as a five-game mix called H.O.R.S.E. in 2005 and was first won by Las Vegas legend Chip Reese. The winner of the tournament now receives a trophy named for the former champion,who died in 2007.
