In a recent documentary, Rousso commented: “One of the secrets to going deep in a main event is mental and physical endurance. Keeping track of your blood sugar level and not bloating up on too many carbs or processed sugars will really help you do well during the course of a tournament. So, I like to start out [when I play poker] with muesli or oatmeal and that’s pretty much the only carbs I’ll have all day. I’ll also have some orange juice and hard-boiled eggs – which should be in there somewhere for protein.”
So anyone looking to take the French-American out for a dinner date should take note of the menu first – unless your name’s Mr Atkins. She is a lean, mean, poker-playing machine after all.
