Evan Roberts Defeats Vanessa Rousso

Vanessa Rousso
Vanessa Rousso
Last March, Rousso showed her heads-up skills by finishing runner up in the 2009 NBC Heads-Up Championship. However, today she finishes just outside of the money.

Evan Roberts moved all in and Vanessa Rousso made the call for her tournament life with {A-?} {6-?}. Roberts showed pocket fives.

The board failed to improve Rousso's hand and she was eliminated from the tournament.

Joao Barbosa was all in before the flop with {Q-Hearts} {9-Clubs}, and Alec Torelli made him work for it, calling and tabling {A-Diamonds} {2-Spades}.

The board ran {5-Spades} {4-Hearts} {A-Spades} {7-Hearts} {8-Hearts}, and Torelli's pair of aces takes it down. He has eliminated Joao Barbosa, advancing himself on to the Round of 32.
