A Tale of Two Levels

It was the best of times for Vanessa Rousso, it was the worst of times for Vanessa Rousso. If last level was the spring of hope, this one could very well be the winter of despair for "LadyMaverick".
Rousso opened a pot pre-flop for 1,600 from early position, then called a re-raise to 3,850. She and the re-raiser were heads-up to an ace-high flop, 
. Rousso checked to the re-raiser, who made an initial bet of 4,850. Rousso check-raised to 11,000, then called her opponent's all in for roughly 40,000 total. Rousso showed down 
for a pair of aces and a flush draw. Her opponent showed 
for a pair of aces with a bigger kicker. Rousso was unable to improve, 
on the turn and 
on the river. She lost the pot and dropped all the way back to 108,000 after being at about 200,000 to start the level.
