Vanessa Rousso

The player under the gun put in raise to 1,200 and got a call from late position. Young Phan called from the cutoff seat and Vanessa Rousso announced a reraise from the button. Eventually, she pushed out 4,500. She got a call from the initial raiser but the late-position caller and Phan gave it up.

The flop came {J-Clubs}

{J-Clubs}

{J-Hearts}

{8-Spades}

and Rousso's opponent checked. She pushed for 8,900 and got a quick call. The players showed:

Rousso: {A-Spades}

{A-Spades}

{9-Clubs}

Opponent:

{10-Spades}

{10-Diamonds}

The turn and river came the {J-Spades}

Chris McCormack Loses a Big One

Share on Twitter Share on Facebook

After one player limped from early position, Chris McCormack raised to 1,500 from late position. The player next to act moved all in for 4,500 and action was back to the limper who passed. McCormack made the call and the players showed:

McCormack: {A-Clubs}

{A-Clubs}

{10-Hearts}

Opponent:

{K-Clubs}

{K-Hearts}

The flop was dramatic, coming {K-Spades}

{K-Spades}

{Q-Diamonds}

{J-Diamonds}

. McCormack flopped Broadway but his opponent had plenty of outs. The turn brought a chop into the realm of possibility as it came the {A-Diamonds}

{A-Diamonds}

. The

{J-Hearts}

on the river took McCormack from first to worst as it gave his opponent the boat. He slips to 14,800 after the hand.
