During the break, Vanessa Rousso, winner of the WPT Foundation Ladies' Night Invitational, called a bet from fellow pro Eugene Katchalov on a board of {4-Diamonds}{10-Hearts}{7-Diamonds}{a-Diamonds}, and Katchalov fired out another 18,000 on the river ({5-Hearts}).

Rousso moved all in for 38,350, bringing the pot to around 100,000, and Katchalov went deep into the tank. Staring at the board, he was playing with chips in his hand and muttering under his breath. Perplexed, Katchalov shook his head, then called.

Rousso ripped over {k-Diamonds}{9-Diamonds} for a flush, and Katchalov quickly mucked.

"Flatting the turn was scary," Rousso said after the hand, fearing a paired board on the river.
