Vanessa Rousso had been steadily losing chips for a little while. In one hand, she doubled up a short stack who was holding A-K and went all in on the river of a king-high board.

Down to just 5,000, she called a small preflop raise in the big blind, and then check-raised all in for 4,300 to a 2,000 bet on the {2-Clubs} {2-Diamonds} {5-Clubs} flop; her opponent called.

Rousso: {K-Spades} {2-Spades}
Opponent: {10-Hearts} {10-Diamonds}

Turn: {K-Diamonds}

River: {7-Clubs}

Rousso stays in the game with 10,000.
