Rousso Ducks, Dodges and Weaves Her Way to a Double-Up

Vanessa Rousso
Vanessa Rousso
All the money went in on a flop of {10-Diamonds} {8-Hearts} {5-Diamonds} between Bertrand Grospellier and Vanessa Rousso. Rousso had the best hand, {K-Diamonds} {K-Hearts}, but Grospellier had the best draw with {J-Diamonds} {9-Diamonds}. Grospellier would take the pot, and the match, with any diamond, any queen, or any seven. The turn paired the board {8-Clubs} and the river blanked {6-Spades}, giving Rousso a huge double-up. She now has the chip advantage against Grospellier.
