Vanessa Selbst

A couple of interesting hands involving Vanessa Selbst:

On the first hand, Selbst raised to 150 from middle position and Doug Lee called from the small blind. The flop came {6-Spades}

{6-Spades}

{10-Spades}

{5-Spades}

. Lee checked, Selbst bet 400, and Lee called. The turn was the {6-Diamonds}

{6-Diamonds}

and Lee bet out 500. Selbst mucked, and didn't look too happy when she did.

On the next hand, an early position player raised to 150, Selbst reraised behind to 300, the EP player pushed all in, and Selbst called. The EP player showed {A-Clubs}

{A-Clubs}

{10-Hearts}

{7-Spades}

{7-Diamonds}

. Selbst showed {A-Clubs}

{A-Clubs}

{2-Diamonds}

{K-Diamonds}

{J-Spades}

.

The board ran out {9-Diamonds}

{9-Diamonds}

{10-Diamonds}

{8-Hearts}

{2-Spades}

{2-Clubs}

, and that deuce in Selbst's hand helped her eliminate her opponent. She's now up to 3,200.
