Rousso's Three Pair Fall to Sexton's Two

A big pot started developing early in a hand contested among Vanessa Rousso, Keith Sexton and Fabrice Soulier. After one player limped in, Rousso completed. Sexton raised and Soulier three-bet. Rousso thought things over before calling. Sexton also called.
Soulier still had the lead on fourth street. He bet and was called by both players. On fifth street Rousso made an open pair and took over the lead. Her bet was raised by Sexton, chasing Soulier out of the pot. Rousso called.
On sixth street, Rousso made two open pair. She bet and was called by Sexton. Both players checked the river, where Rousso's two pair, jacks and nines, was no good against Sexton's aces and tens.
"Where were the jacks, man?" Rousso complained after the hand.
"Or the nines and fives," another player helpfully pointed out.
