Rousso Dealing

Vanessa Rousso has just eliminated a player in a heads up all in. There was an initial raise, and Rousso and her opponent were the only two to make it to the flop.

It came {7-Diamonds} {2-Spades} {2-Diamonds}. The player in early position moved all in for his last 1,100, and Rousso quickly called with {K-Hearts} {K-Spades} as her opponent tabled {6-Hearts} {6-Clubs}.

The dealer mistakenly began to rake the mucked cards into the deck, preparing to shuffle before Rousso stopped her in her tracks. The dealer seemed confused about the action, and she wasn't sure what she needed to do next. Rousso was good natured about it though, telling her, "We're on the turn, burn and deal a card two times." The dealer caught back up and ran out the {3-Clubs} and {7-Hearts} for the last two streets.

After her opponent knocked the table and stood up to leave, Rousso joked to the dealer, "Okay, now you push all those chips over to me." With that win, she has chipped up to around 4,200.
