Marcus Wins Battle of the Vans

[user75032]

The tide has turned for Vanessa Rousso

We've had our first battle of the Vans - Van Marcus and Vanessa Rousso. Rousso opened for 1,100 before Marcus reraised from the button to 3,600. Rousso asked Marcus for a count and was told he had 5,600 behind. She then moved all in.

'I'm hoping she has eights," said Marcus as he called with a shrug.

Rousso: {A-Spades}

{A-Spades}

{Q-Spades}

Marcus:

{J-Spades}

{J-Clubs}

The flop was huge for Marcus, coming {4-Hearts}

{4-Hearts}

{J-Hearts}

{7-Hearts}

. "Running hearts!" he implored the dealer jokingly. He didn't get his wish. The turn and river were the {2-Diamonds}

{2-Diamonds}

and the

{8-Spades}

. He doubled up to about 19,000.
