Vanessa Rousso Breaks Her Foot Before Poker Match

Vanessa Rousso Breaks Foot Before Barry Greenstein Match

Vanessa Rousso has stormed the poker world, but slipped and fell at Caesars Palace and broke her foot an hour before her match with Barry Greenstein at the National Heads-Up Poker Championships Saturday. It was her right fourth metatarsal.

Rousso was scheduled to present a free two-hour poker seminar Friday before the Isle Casino & Racing’s Battle at the Beach main event. She will need to cancel, her mother said. Recovery time isn’t yet determined; more doctors’ appointments are still booked.

The main event with a $900 buy-in, is a $150,000 guarantee with Day Ones on Friday and Saturday and Day Two on Sunday, continuing to Monday if necessary.
