Things seemed to be going well for Vanessa Rousso today, as she'd built herself an above-average-sized chip stack and maintained it for much of the day. But then it happened . . . again.

According to Rousso, this was the fourth time during this WSOP that she was eliminated from a tournament in a set-over-set situation. This time around, the board read {4-Clubs}{5-Hearts}{Q-Spades} when all the money went in. Rousso held pocket fives, while her opponent was sitting on pocket queens. The turn and river blanked out and Rousso, visibly upset, graciously exited the tournament area a good sport, despite her poor fortune.

Frank Schram, the winner of the hand, surged toward the top of the leader board following the hand, and now has just over 161,000 in chips.
