Selbst Makes Small Flush

We caught up with Vanessa Selbst on the turn, the board showing {2-Spades} {4-Clubs} {5-Spades} {6-Spades}. Her opponent bet 900, which she called. Both players checked the river when it came {3-Spades} to put a 6-high straight (and four spades) on board.

Selbst's opponent turned over a pair of sixes; his turned set was counterfeited by the board and he was playing the straight. Selbst turned over {7-Spades} {9-Spades} for a baby flush to scoop the pot.

She now has about 5,800 chips.
