Vanessa Rousso and Doyle Brunson got it all on on a {J-Hearts} {A-Hearts} {K-Hearts} flop; Rousso with {10-Hearts} {9-Hearts} and Brunson with {J-Diamonds} {10-Clubs}.

"Vanessa shows a flush and Doyle shows jack-ten and has a lot of work to do," said Tournament Emcee Jordan Siegel, drawing a big laugh from Daniel Negreanu over on the feature table.

Doyle found himself drawing dead by the turn after the dealer tabled the {9-Spades}.

"Doyle Brunson down... Phil Ivey to go. Jesus!" said Rousso after the match, alluding to the fact that she'll be playing Phil Ivey in the Round of 32.
