Rousset's Hand Keeps Improving

Level 21 : Blinds 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante

Cyrille Rousset open-shoved in late position for 221,000 and got called by small blind Benjamin Nguyen putting Rousset's tournament life in jeopardy.

Cyrille Rousset: 1010 All in
Benjamin Nguyen: 33

Rousset was ahead and further became the favorite when the flop came 9J8 giving him an open-ended straight draw. He improved his hand with a completed straight when the turn fell 7. It became even better when the river Q dropped for the higher straight.

The dealer pushed the pot towards Rousset as Nguyen quietly watched.
