Selbst Setback

We came to Vanessa Selbst's table as she was facing an all-in bet of 8,100 on a {j-Spades}{q-Clubs}{9-Diamonds} flop. With roughly 3,000 in the pot, it appeared that her opponent opened with an all-in bet. Selbst tanked for just more than a minute before finally stick a call into the pot. She was not happy to see her opponent open {k-Hearts}{q-Diamonds} for top pair and a gutshot straight draw. That hand was in the lead against Selbst's {j-Clubs}{4-Clubs}, a pair of jacks. The {6-Clubs} on the turn briefly made things interesting, giving Selbst a flush draw, but the river {5-Spades} changed nothing.

Selbst still has plenty of chips to work with despite losing that pot.
