Rousso Down, Out

Tom Lloyd opened to 525 from early position, and Vanessa Rousso flatted in the next seat over. A couple seats down from them, a short-stacked opponent moved all in for just about 2,000 total. Lloyd promptly re-shoved, and that took Rousso aback. She chatted with Lloyd for a couple minutes, cut down her stack, and resigned herself to a reluctant call. She was right to be worried.

Rousso: 
Opponent: 
Rousso was gutted when she saw the two aces, and she gave Lloyd the rundown of her thought process to justify her call. The dealer provided no help on a 
board, and Lloyd dragged the big pot to knock off the short stacked gentleman. When Rousso's chips were counted down, she was left with just three lonely low-denomination chips worth a quarter each. "Okay, I want to make WCOOP heads up in an hour, so let's make this quick," she said.
Those 75 chips all went into the next pot when she looked down at a ho-hum {5h]

"I hope," Rousso began. "I hope. Wait, there's an insult I'm supposed to say to you. What's that thing that all the online kids say? I hope you... I hope... Oh whatever, I hope you something bad." She wished Lloyd and the rest of the table luck, and she was still mumbling to herself about those pocket queens as she walked out of the room.
