Selbst Crushing Souls and Taking Names

We've seen the monster-stacked Vanessa Selbst moving a lot of chips around recently. She's been three-betting lots of pots pre-flop, using her stack as an effective intimidating tool. That style pays massive dividends when she hits big hands.

Selbst three-bet to 35,000 from the button after Steven Goosen opened for 14,000. Vincent Rubianes was in the big blind with roughly 500,000 chips and four-bet to 80,000. Goosen folded but Selbst, with position, called.

Rubianes checked an ace-high flop, {10-Diamonds} {A-Hearts} {6-Diamonds}. Selbst bet 90,000 and Rubianes called. On the {8-Clubs} turn Rubianes checked again, only to see Selbst move all in. It was effectively 300,000 back to Rubianes. He tanked for more than a minute before calling with {J-Hearts} {J-Diamonds}, a pair of jacks. They were way behind Selbst's set of tens, {10-Clubs} {10-Spades}. The board bricked, sending the close to million-chip pot to Selbst.

She now has more than 1.8 million chips, making her far and away the leader.
