Poker Player Jean-Robert Bellande Still Gets Survivor Recognition

FROM POKER TO SURVIVOR AND BACK

Poker professional Jean-Robert Bellande may have left the Zhelin Reservoir over six years ago, but he still gets recognized as one of the stars of Survivor: China.

Walking the halls of the Rio All-Suites Hotel and Casino, heading to the Amazon Room to play his next tournament at the World Series of Poker, Bellande was stopped by a fan and was asked “hey, aren’t you that guy from Survivor”. Bellande acknowledged and the fan continued her walk down the hall excited that she was able to meet one of her favorite poker pros (and Survivor participants) face-to-face!

Everyday fans can run into some of the game’s best and most compelling poker players – make your way down to the Rio in Las Vegas this summer, and who knows, maybe you’ll meet your idol!
