Rouas Flushed With Success
Smith raised preflop from the cutoff and Rouas called from the big blind. Come the flop, Rouas bet out 20,000 and, after a slight pause, Smith called. Another 50,000 from Rouas on the turn, and after a rather longer interval this time, a call from Smith. Rouas checked the river and Smith very slowly went to bet 75,000 -- before his hand had left the chips, Rouas announced, "I call," and flipped for a rather nice flopped flush. As a result, Rouas appears to be our new chip leader on roughly 690,000.
