A Few Missed Bets

The under the gun player raised it to 2,000. The hijack player then made the call after action had folded around to him. Another player who made the call was Vanessa Selbst in the big blind.

The three players witnessed a {5-Diamonds}{A-Hearts}{j-Clubs} flop. Slebst and the under the gun player checked, while the hijack player bet out 2,500. Selbst made the call and the under the gun player released his cards into the muck.

The {4-Diamonds} on the turn saw both players pass on their options and check. The {Q-Diamonds} on the river saw the same thing with Selbst knuckling the felt, and her opponent doing the same after commenting on how scared he is of her.

Selbst was instantly rattled as she flipped over her {A-Diamonds}{j-Diamonds} for the nut flush and a flopped two pair. She was even more disturbed when her opponent flipped over {A-}{K-}. Selbst exclaimed "missed a few bets I guess", regretting not taking more control in the hand instead of hoping her opponent would bet out.
