Rousso Doubles

Vanessa Rousso
Vanessa Rousso

The tension increased on the feature table as Vanessa Rousso found herself all in on a {A-}{10-}{9-} two clubs flop, moving over the top of her foe's lead of 8,000. Rousso was as motionless as the Statue of Liberty as she awaited her opponent's decision. When it eventually came, she instantly revealed {K-Clubs}{7-Clubs}, but was surprised to be in the lead against {Q-Diamonds}{J-Spades}.

"Oh my God," she said with her eyes widening. "I'm ahead."

After a {2-Hearts} turn and {A-Hearts} river, Rousso punched the air in delight and yelped "Yes!"

"I'm sorry," she added. "That was exciting."

Rousso's stack has seen more ups and downs than the Cyclone. At time of writing, she's on around 80,000, although something tells me that the Rousso roller coaster still has a loop-the-loop to come.
