Knaves Hold for Lady Maverick

Vanessa Rousso
Vanessa Rousso

Facing a raise to 800 and a call, "Lady Maverick" Vanessa Rousso made it 2,200 with {J-Spades}{J-Clubs} and received action from the initial caller.

With the pot already escalating, the flop came {9-Spades}{8-Hearts}{J-Clubs} to give Rousso top set. She led for 3,000, only for her opponent to push for 25,000. Rousso made the call.

Although ahead against {A-Spades}{10-Spades}, Rousso was vulnerable, and had to sweat a {A-Diamonds} turn and {6-Hearts} river before finally being able to scoop in the pot.

But scoop she did, and as a result, she now boasts a newly constructed stack of around the 70,000 mark.
