Selbst In Control

Earlier this summer Vanessa Selbst became the first woman to win an open event at the World Series of Poker since she did so herself in 2008. Selbst's second bracelet was around her wrist after she crushed the final table of Event 52: $2,500 10-Game Mix - Six-Handed.

We recently caught up with this two-time bracelet winner looking down at a board of {8-Clubs}{2-Spades}{9-Spades}{Q-Spades}{7-Clubs}. Her opponent checked to her with over 16,000 in the pot. Selbst fired out 10,900 and her opponent quickly called.

Selbst flipped up the {A-Spades}{6-Spades} for the nuts and her opponent mucked his hand. Selbst is now sitting on a stack of 69,000 and looks to continue crushing throughout the day.
