Marcus Wins Battle of the Vans

The tide has turned for Vanessa Rousso
The tide has turned for Vanessa Rousso
We've had our first battle of the Vans - Van Marcus and Vanessa Rousso. Rousso opened for 1,100 before Marcus reraised from the button to 3,600. Rousso asked Marcus for a count and was told he had 5,600 behind. She then moved all in.

'I'm hoping she has eights," said Marcus as he called with a shrug.

Rousso: {A-Spades} {Q-Spades}
Marcus: {J-Spades} {J-Clubs}

The flop was huge for Marcus, coming {4-Hearts} {J-Hearts} {7-Hearts}. "Running hearts!" he implored the dealer jokingly. He didn't get his wish. The turn and river were the {2-Diamonds} and the {8-Spades}. He doubled up to about 19,000.
