Vanessa Rousso limped from UTG+1, the button raised to 350 and Rousso called. The flop was {J-Clubs}

. Rousso checked, the button bet 500, Rousso raised to 1,300 and the button called. The turn was the {5-Clubs}

. Rousso bet 1,800 and the button called. The river was the {2-Diamonds}

. Rousso checked, and the button bet 2,500. Rousso took off her headphones, let out a sigh, and went into the tank for several minutes.

"That was a perfect bet," she said. "A perfect bet. You either have a flush or you have nothing."

After several more minutes of agonizing, Rousso finally declared, "There's too much in the pot, I call." The button turned over {A-Clubs}

and Rousso mucked.

"That was a perfect river bet. I don't think I call a dollar more" Rousso said with a sigh. She has 14,500 remaining in her stack.
