Josh Arieh and Vanessa Selbst got into some blind-on-blind violence on a board reading {10-Hearts}{8-Clubs}{6-Hearts}{9-Diamonds}. Selbst bet 23,100 from the small blind, and Arieh counted out a call. The river was about as much of a brick as possible - the {4-Diamonds}. Selbst said she was all in, meaning Arieh had to risk his last 33,000 to call. "Oh man," he sighed, but slid his chips forward. Selbst turned over {q-Diamonds}{j-Clubs}{k-Hearts}{5-Diamonds} for the nuts, a queen-high straight, and Arieh just kept sliding his chips until they were part of Selbst's giant stack.

"Guess that's going to ruin my image," Selbst laughed to neighbor Jason Senti after she scooped the pot with the nuts.

She is up to 330,000 now, putting the two remaining PokerStars representatives one and two in this stacked field.
