Rousso Riles Boujenah

Team PokerStars Pro Vanessa Rousso has just taken her seat here in the main event and she has already rubbed up fiery Israeli Ilan Boujenah.

It was Pavel Sebesta who opened the betting with a raise to 300 from middle position, but little did he know this would start a chain of events that with end with Boujenah being riled. Rousso called that 300 raise from late position and to her left was Boujenah and he call also. The preflop round was completed when Eric Sadoun called in the small blind and the big blind folded.

The draw-heavy flop prompted a check from Sadoun, a bet of 750 from Sebesta and a call from Rousso. Boujenah raised the stakes by making it 2,400 to play, forcing Sadoun and Sebesta out of the pot, but Rousso called.

The turn was the and Rousso tapped the table and checked. Boujenah bet 4,600 and Rousso called after just a few seconds of deliberation. The river was the flush-completing was greeted with a bet of 9,000 from Rousso, which angered Boujenah no end. Boujenah removed his headphones and slammed them onto the felt in frustration more than anything else, before saying an ElkY-esque phrase, “So sick!”

For the next six minutes Boujenah replayed the hand over and over in his head, muttered under his breath and was in disbelief that Rousso – in his opinion – had check called the turn with a flush draw. In the midst of all this, Rousso’s fellow Team Pro Liv Boeree approached the rail and Boujenah asked, “Is she capable of donkey bluffs?” to the amusement of everyone.

A few minutes later Banjamin Juhasz called the clock on Boujenah, but the floor staff were not required because Boujenah folded, showing the as he did. Rousso’s cards hit the muck in record time and Boujenah went off to discuss the hand with Miss Boeree.
