Facing life's challenges together
Gary Wise, ESPN Poker

There was a time when Vanessa Rousso would flash some of the worst reactions in the game as a result of a bad beat or a knockout. Rousso wore on her sleeve her desire for victory and disdain for those moments in poker that inevitably deprive us of it -- even those she shouldn't control. It's who she was.
Was.
Tuesday night on ESPN's broadcast of Day 4 of the World Series of Poker main event, you're going to see a different Rousso. Gone is the girl who would shriek and sob about relatively little things like the turn of a card. In her place is a woman who understands there are more important things than poker; one who has found an even keel as a result. You wouldn't want to have to learn the lessons she has, but they're a silver lining. Rest of the story here ~ http://espn.go.com/poker/story/_/id/6932814/chad-brown-vanessa-rousso-grow-battle-cancer
Shut the flippin' front door! ~~ Do you think you were born awesome, or just grew up badass? ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
