Rousso Won't Be the Queen of Hearts

Michael Mizrachi and Vanessa Rousso
Michael Mizrachi and Vanessa Rousso

The first casualty of the Hearts Bracket is one of the bracket's two female players. On a flop of {j-Spades}{10-Clubs}{3-Diamonds}, Michael Mizrachi opened with a bet. His opponent Vanessa Rousso then raised, prompting Mizrachi to move all in. Rousso tanked for about a minute before calling with {j-Diamonds}{8-Clubs}. Mizrachi showed a better hand, {q-Spades}{j-Hearts}. A perfunctory turn {2-Diamonds} and river {k-Diamonds} made Rousso first to the rail.
