Hand #9 - Vanessa Selbst

Vanessa Selbst has the button. She completes the small blind. Alec Torelli checks.

The flop comes {6-Spades} {A-Hearts} {7-Spades}. Torelli checks for a second time, prompting Selbst to bet 17,000. That's enough to win the pot.

Hand #7 - Alec Torelli

Vanessa Selbst has the button. She completes the small blind. Alec Torelli makes it 52,000 to go, and Selbst folds.

During the last few hands, Torelli has been telling Selbst the story of a hand he played earlier this week in a big cash game as if the two are out for a stroll in the park.

Emcee Robbie Thompson said over the P.A. system, "In case you guys couldn't hear that, Alec was telling a bad beat story."

Torelli protested, "No, it was just me being a retard."

Hand #5 - Vanessa Selbst

Vanessa Selbst has the button. She completes the small blind. Alec Torelli says "Go," and we are off to the flop.

Both players check a flop of {3-Clubs} {J-Hearts} {10-Diamonds}. Torelli checks again when the turn comes {4-Diamonds}. Selbst takes a stab with a bet of 15,000, but Torelli flings three chips of his own into the pot. The river {6-Hearts} is checked through. Torelli says "Ace high"; Selbst responds, "Pair of sixes," and shows {9-?} {6-?}. She wins the pot.
