Selbst vs. Grinder Part II

A player in the cutoff opened to 1,050, another player on the button three-bet to 3,000, Michael Mizrachi four-bet to 8,150 from the small blind, and Vanessa Selbst five-bet to 16,300 from the big blind. Only Mizrachi called, and the dealer fanned {2-Diamonds}{6-Spades}{k-Diamonds}. Mizrachi checked, and Selbst bet enough to put Mizrachi all in.

The Grinder tanked for a bit before eventually calling, turning over {j-Hearts}{j-Spades}. Selbst opened up {a-Clubs}{q-Spades}, and needed an ace or a queen to secure the knockout. The turn and rive came {k-Hearts}, {4-Clubs} respectively, and The Grinder doubled to 80,000 chips.

Selbst was steaming, and is left with less than 30,000 chips.
