Level 20
: 6,000/12,000, 1,000 ante
Vanessa Selbst limped in from the small blind, and Jean-Philippe Matte knocked the table for a free flop from the big.
On the 
flop, Selbst led out with a bet of 18,000 that was called, and she slowed down with a check on the 
turn. When Matte bet 35,000, though, she check-raised to 106,000, and Matte shoved in for just over 300,000 total. Selbst called with her big stack, and the cards were on their backs.
Showdown
Selbst: 
Matte: 
It was going to be a split pot unless either player paired their kicker, but the river 
meant they got to take their money back and chop up the antes. On to the next hand.
