Vanessa Rousso Takes Home $280,000 at Borgata Event 9

Vanessa Rousso stole the spotlight on September 14 at the Borgata Poker Open, earning her place in poker history by winning Event 9, the $5,000 buy-in No Limit Event.

Rousso survived the field of 317 top poker players to win the largest prize to date at the 2006 Borgata Poker Open taking home $285,450. Rousso's victory marks one of the largest cash prizes won by a female poker player and validates her position as one of the great tournament poker players.

As the flop hit the table and Rousso captured the championship, the crowd erupted in cheer for the elated Rousso. She said, 'I can't believe I won this championship. I travel all over with the World Poker Tour and Borgata is my favourite place to play.�

Rousso, who dominated for most of the day, had to duel fierce competition at the final table. She knocked out Cliff 'Johnny Bax' Josephy, a top internet pro and former Wall Street broker from New York who took home $86,500 for his third place finish. Doran Malinasky finished second taking home $151,375.
