Rousso Crushing Souls Early On

Vanessa Rousso

It would be an understatement to say that Vanessa Rousso has had a good start to the day. She was able to jump up to 60,000 early on, but that's not the big story involving her in the early morning. Here's a hand that just put Rousso up to 130,000.

Rousso and two other players created a pot worth over 14,000 going to the flop. One player was in the small blind, Rousso was in the cutoff seat and the other player was on the button.

The flop came down {Q-Hearts} {9-Hearts} {2-Spades} and the small blind fired 15,000. Action fell on Rousso and she moved all of her chips in with a swift, two-handed motion. She had the other two players well covered in the hand.

"Oh Jesus," said the player on the button before he too shoved his chips in for roughly 35,000, making the all-in call. The small blind then called for all of his chips as well.

Rousso tabled her hand right away, revealing {9-Clubs} {9-Diamonds} and middle set. The button turned his head away from the table in disgust and rolled over his two kings -- {K-Diamonds} {K-Hearts}. The small blind waited for both of these hands to be turned over and then showed the {A-Spades} {A-Hearts}. Rousso went from worst to first on the flop and was in the lead with a chance to scoop a massive pot pending she held on the turn and river.

The turn brought the {8-Hearts} and added a heart draw for both the other players.

The river was the {10-Diamonds} though, not completing that flush. It kept Rousso's hand best and jolted her to 130,000 chips.
