Bellsmith and Messer Tangle
Level 10
: 600/1,200, 200 ante
With about 9,000 in the pot already, on a board reading 
, Matthew Bellsmith led out for 4,500 from the big blind. Peter Messer asked for a count and called from the button.
The river was the 
and Bellsmith fired out a bet of 7,000. Messer wasted no time and quickly called.
Bellsmith confidently tabled 
for a pair of queens with a jack kicker. Messer mucked.
It appeared as though the two players had some history because Bellsmith said "You raise too big. You try to buy it." He continued raking in the pot and Messer responded with "I had pocket nines! I didn't know we were getting coaching lessons here."
