Lady Maverick Hoping to Carry Team PokerStars Into Semis
Vanessa Rousso is the last remaining member of Team PokerStars in the Heads Up No-Limit Hold'em Championship. Her teammate, Alexander Gomes of Team PokerStars Brazil was just here a little while ago to watch her progress.
Rousso, a.k.a. "Lady Maverick," joins two other members of Team PokerStars in the money for this event, with both Bertrand "ElkY" Grospellier (France) and Alexander Kravchenko (Russia) having made it to the round of 16.
This isn't the first time Rousso has made a deep run in a major heads-up event, of course, having finished runner-up to Huck Seed in the 2009 NBC National Heads-Up Poker Championship.
