Selbst Still Going Strong

It was a great day 1 for Pokerstars Pro Vanessa Selbst, as she ended with a top 10 chip stack. Well she has picked up right where she left off, as she has just won another pot to put her second in chips on the day.

Selbst raised it up in middle position to 1,200, and the big blind, Hans Hein, made the call. The flop came down {8-Spades}{j-Diamonds}{10-Spades}, and Hein check called a 1,600 bet from Selbst. The turn brought the {8-Clubs}, and Hein led out this time for 2,600. Selbst came along, and the river brought the {3-Clubs}. Hein led out one more time for 4,200, but Selbst wasn't going anywhere, as she tossed in the call. Hein could only show {a-Hearts}{9-Clubs} for a missed straight, while Selbst tabled {q-Hearts}{j-Hearts} for a winning two pair.

After that hand, Selbst has rocketed up to 186,000.
