Selbst Sinks, but not Sunk

Level 32 : 1,500/3,000, 0 ante
Vanessa Selbst
Vanessa Selbst

We don't know how the betting went, but when we got to the table Vanessa Selbst had her opponent, Jeffery Kester, all in. Kester flipped over {A-Clubs}{A-Diamonds} and Selbst countered with {A-Hearts}{10-Diamonds}. Selbst seemed slightly disgusted that her opponent's hand was so strong.

A {6-Diamonds}{9-Spades}{j-Diamonds} flop didn't bring anything special, but a {Q-Clubs} turn gave Selbst a handful of outs going to the river. Any king or ten would put Selbst's in front. The {6-Clubs} came on the river and Selbst was forced to forfeit the pot.
