Selbst Slipping

Just 30 minutes ago, Vanessa Selbst was poised to crack the 200k mark, with 198,000 in chips. However, we just caught her losing the last of a string of pots that has her back down to 130,000.

We caught up with the action on the turn, with the board reading {9-Hearts}{4-Spades}{5-Spades}{q-Clubs}. It was checked to Selbst, who fired out 2,500. David Weinstein then check raised it to 5,250, and Selbst made the call. The river was the {a-Spades}, and Weinstein led out for 8,000. Selbst thought for about 45 seconds, checked how much she had in her stack, before ultimately folding her hand, giving the pot to Weinstein.
