Russo Doubles

Level 5 : 200/400, 0 ante

With the board reading {q-Diamonds}{9-Clubs}{2-Spades}{5-Hearts} a player in middle position checked the action over to Vanessa Russo who bet 1,200. The middle position player then raised to 6,400 only to have Russo push all in for a total of 7,950. Strangely enough, the other player asked how much more to call and then tanked a bit before putting the additional 1,550 chips in the pot.

The reason behind his reluctance became a bit more clear when he revealed his {a-Spades}{3-Spades} for a pair of threes. Russo tabled the {k-Hearts}{q-Clubs} for a pair of queens and doubled her stack up to 19,500.
