Russo Running Over Her Table

A player in middle position raised to 450 and both the small blind and Vanessa Russo in the big blind called. The flop came {a-Diamonds}{3-Diamonds}{2-Hearts} and the small blind led out for 1,075. Russo then raised to 2,175, the middle position player folded and the small blind went all in. Russo called and the hands were revealed.

Russo: {7-Diamonds}{5-Diamonds}
Small Blind: {3-Spades}{2-Spades}

The small blind's two pair was leading Russo's straight and flush draws. The {q-Clubs} on the turn changed nothing but the {j-Diamonds} on the river completed Russo's flush and boosted her stack up to 15,600. In addition to her playable chips, she still has both her rebuy chips intact as well.
