Vanessa Rousso Wins a Three-Way All In

Level 25: 80,000-160,000, 20,000 ante

In the last hand before the break, a player raises from middle position to 2,500, Vanessa Rousso calls from the button, and the small blind calls. The flop comes KQ10, the small blind bets 4,000, the middle-position player moves all in, Rousso moves all in over the top, and the small blind calls. Here's what they have: Vanessa Rousso: J9 for a king-high straight with a flush draw. Small Blind: KQ for top two pair Middle Position: AK for top pair, gut-shot straight draw Rousso is a big favorite in the hand, and just needs to avoid a king, a queen, or a jack to win the pot. The turn card is the 6, giving Rousso a flush and leaving the middle-position player drawing dead. A king or a queen on the river would give the small blind a full house for the win. The river card pairs the board with the 6, and Rousso wins the pot with her heart flush, busting one player and building her stack up to 120,000 in chips.
