Queen Selbst Collects From Bhasin

In a reraised pot between Vanessa Selbst and Roy Bhasin, the last of Selbst's chips were in the middle on the flop of {8-Spades}{9-Hearts}{4-Hearts}.

Selbst tabled {Q-Hearts}{Q-Spades}{K-Hearts}{9-Diamonds} for over pair and flush draw, but would need to improve against Bhasin's {A-Spades}{A-Hearts}{6-Diamonds}{4-Diamonds} for the rockets.

"Wow, I didn't think you had that!" quipped a nervous Selbst, but she need not have worried as she improved on both the {9-Spades} turn and {10-Hearts} river to finish with a flush and the pot.

It seems Selbst likes to tangle with the Aussies. She first gained attention for her final table blow-up when Mark Vos won his bracelet in 2006. She then overcame another Aussie in Jamie Pickering in a rather "entertaining" heads-up display for the $1,500 Pot Limit Omaha bracelet last year.

Selbst clips another Aussie in Bhasin to double through to 54,000 with Bhasin back to the pack with 87,000.
