Happy Birthday Vanessa

Happy Birthday to Me!
Happy Birthday to Me!
Vanessa Rousso doubled through Theo Tran just before the dinner break. On a {10-Clubs} {5-Hearts} {3-Clubs} flop, Rousso checked out of the small blind, an early-position player bet 5,000, Tran called the bet, and Rousso check-raised to 16,500. After the initial bettor folded, Tran put Rousso all in for her last 26,000 and after much contemplation, Rousso called, showing {a-Diamonds} {5-Spades}; Tran flipped up {7-Diamonds} {7-Hearts}. Tran was still ahead when the {j-Clubs} came on the turn, but the {a-Hearts} on the river wasn’t as kind to Theo.

“That’s so gross,” Tran said, as the dealer pushed the pot to Rousso.

“Hey, I’m just lucky . . . and it’s my birthday,” Rousso responded.

After the hand, Tran was left with approximately 30,000 in chips, while Rousso’s stack is up to 97,000.
