Vanessa Rousso was just involved in a three-way pot with each player all in before the flop. Rousso held {J-Diamonds}

{J-Diamonds}

{J-Hearts}

, while her opponents held {K-Hearts}

{K-Hearts}

{K-Clubs}

, and

{A-Clubs}

{K-Diamonds}

.

The flop came lucky for Rousso. The dealer spread out {J-Spades}

{J-Spades}

{7-Spades}

{10-Clubs}

. Rousso grabbed a big lead, but still had a few outs to dodge. The turn was safe, {6-Clubs}

{6-Clubs}

, but the river brought the case king, the {K-Spades}

{K-Spades}

. That gave her opponent the bigger set, and stole a big pot out of her grasp.

The very next hand, she and another player got all in on the flop. This time, the board showed {5-Diamonds}

{5-Diamonds}

{Q-Spades}

{8-Spades}

. Rousso held {K-Spades}

{K-Spades}

{J-Spades}

, and needed to catch up to the other player's {A-Hearts}

{A-Hearts}

{Q-Diamonds}

. She did just that when the board ran {J-Diamonds}

{J-Diamonds}

,

{2-Spades}

, giving her the flush that she was looking for to double back into contention.

Those last three minutes contained more action than the first two and a half hours combined at that table.
