Welcome Hands

The locker room is starting to get rather crowded now as yet another player over here in the orange section departs for an early shower. By the sounds of it, his chips were dispersed across the table in increments, but the final chunk arrived into the welcome hands of Vanessa Rousso.

When I arrived, the board read {4-Diamonds}{6-Diamonds}{6-Hearts}{2-Clubs}, and Rousso had led for 5,000. The soon-to-be departed called, before moving all in for his final 4,000 on the {10-Spades} river. Rousso immediately made the call with {6-Clubs}{7-Clubs}. Her foe showed {J-Clubs}{J-Diamonds}.

For a moment, he looked as though he was dipping into his pocket for a rebuy, but after a brief pause, he rose from his seat and exited stage left.

After his departure, the table offered that surprised expression where you raise your eyebrows and tilt your head slightly to one side before Paul Jackson broke the silence by commenting: "I think I was the only one that didn't get any of that. In fact, I gave him some!"
