Selbst Skyrockets

Vanessa Selbst and Brett Richey didn't wait around to ramp up the after dinner action. They got all the money in the middle (more than 100 big blinds apiece) on a {7-Clubs}{4-Hearts}{2-Diamonds} flop.

Selbst: {a-Diamonds}{a-Clubs}{3-Clubs}{2-Hearts} for aces, bottom pair, and a gutshot
Richey: {8-Diamonds}{8-Clubs}{6-Hearts}{5-Clubs} for a big straight draw and eights

The {k-Diamonds} turn and {a-Spades} river kept Selbst in the lead. When the stacks were counted down, she had been all in for 36,850. Richey was left with 1,200 after doubling her up to around 78,000. Watch out, guys. Selbst with chips is extremely dangerous.
