Selbst Steps Back

Team PokerStars Pro Vanessa Selbst hasn't played much poker in 2016, with only one small result to speak of.

However, poker's all-time leading money winner among female players, with a substantial $11,728,256 in career tournament earnings, is always a threat to run deep.

Having turned up to play in Monaco today, Selbst got off to a hot start, building her stack up into the 75,000-chip range. Moments ago, she joined two opponents in checking an flop, but when one checked the turned, she led for 900.

Just one player called in position and when Selbst led the river for 2,200, he raised to 6,750 total. Selbst made the call, but mucked, moving a bit below her peak point of the day so far when he showed for two pair.
