Chad in Control, But Vanessa is Out the Door

Rousso gone
Rousso gone
The player on the button opened with a raise to 500 and Chad Brown made the call on the big blind. The flop came down {2-Spades}{Q-Hearts}{K-Hearts} and Brown checked to the player on the button who fired 1,150. Brown made the call.

The turn brought the {2-Clubs} and Brown checked to the button, who fired another bullet worth 1,800. Brown again made the call.

The river was the {Q-Diamonds} and Brown checked for the third time and again his opponent came out firing, this time for 2,000. However this time Brown put in a check-raise, making it 4,500 to go and forcing a fold from his opponent.

Brown collects another pot as he approaches 50,000 in chips.

Meanwhile on a nearby table, Vanessa Rousso wasn't having as much fortune. Rousso raised under the gun to 550, before the Greg Cook made it 2,000 to go from the button. Rousso made the call and they saw a flop of {5-Clubs}{10-Diamonds}{2-Hearts}.

Rousso checked to Cook who fired 3,800. Rousso then moved all in for 11,500 and Cook made the call. Rousso tabled {J-Spades}{J-Diamonds} for an overpair, but had run into the {A-Hearts}{A-Spades} of Cook. The turn was the {7-Hearts} and river the {3-Hearts} and the day of Rousso is brought to an abrupt end.
