A Wise Move
Poker players are highly self-conscious when it comes to massages, and despite the lack of a face-to-face encounter and the possibility that big hands equates to a good, firm grip, still consider a massage from a male to be a definite no-no.
Chad Brown, however, has no such qualms and duly requested a manssage when the masseur crossed his path. But, on second glance, I couldn't help but notice that located on the seat behind him was wife Vanessa Rousso, perhaps hinting that this was more a strategic decision than anything else. A wise move indeed.
Either way, the manssage appears to be working, as Brown has increased his stack to almost thrice his starting stack with an impressive 12,500. As for Rousso, she's not doing too bad herself, her stack climbing gradually since an explosive start and now up to the 13,500 mark.
