Rousso Bests Smith

In a battle of the blinds, Gavin Smith check-called a bet of 600 by Vanessa Rousso on a flop of {7-Hearts}{9-Clubs}{9-Spades}. Smith check-called another 1,000 on the turn card, the {Q-Hearts} and led for 2,350 when the {7-Clubs} hit the river.

Rousso called and turned over {5-Spades}{7-Diamonds} for a full house, and Smith mucked. At the end of the hand, Rousso has a stack of 31,000 while Smith has 24,000.

A few other chip stacks in the vicinity belong to:

Josh Arieh - 16,000
Erick Lindgren - 33,000
Chau Giang - 9,000
Tiffany Michelle - 10,000
Michael Mizrachi - 11,000
