In case you missed it, PokerStars and Vanessa Rousso recently parted ways. The world's largest poker site nor the long-time American pro have mentioned anything about the split, but many believe the break up occurred at the end of January this year and that it was yet another move by new owner Amaya Gaming to cut expenses.
Rousso, who has been very anonymous on the live tournament circuit in the past two years, was one of the first Team PokerStars Pros. She joined the site in 2006 and has $4.4 million in live tournament earnings, with her best cash being the win of the 2009 EPT Grand Final in Monte Carlo for $700,160.
PokerStars now has 30 Team Pro members, of which five are women. The site also has 21 Team Online pros (three are women).
