"How Could You Raise with 5 High?"

Vanessa Selbst raised to 1,100 from late position, the big blind moved all in for 1,550, and Selbst called the additional 450. Typical of her aggressive style, Selbst showed the {3-Clubs}

and the big blind tabled... {4-Spades}

. The board came Q-Q-2-A-K, and the 5 ended up playing, awarding the pot to Selbst's opponent.

"How could you raise with 5 high and no fold equity!" Selbst exclaimed after the hand. Her stack was still quite healthy though, at 46,000.
