Rousso Gets It Straight

Vanessa Rousso
Vanessa Rousso

We picked this one up after the river card had been dealt, leaving a board of {10-Clubs}{9-Hearts}{7-Diamonds}{7-Hearts}{4-Spades}. Vanessa Rousso bet 700, and her opponent responded with a raise to 1,800.

“This is so sick if you have a full house,” said Rousso. Finally she called, showing {J-Diamonds}{8-Clubs} for the jack-high straight. “I have a smaller straight than you,” her opponent said, showing {8-Diamonds}{6-Clubs}.

“That’s so sick -- you tried to bluff me!” said a smiling Rousso as she dragged the pot. “I didn’t try to bluff you,” her opponent responded. “I thought I had the best hand.” “That’s just bad luck for you,” said Rousso.

She’s up to about 6,500 now.
