Selbst's Small Struggle

Vanessa Selbst
Vanessa Selbst

The under the gun player raised it up to around 1,800 and Vanessa Selbst in middle position was the only one willing to see the flop as the rest of the table folded.

The flop came {Q-Clubs}{Q-Diamonds}{2-Spades} and the under the gun player checked. Selbst lead out the attack then by betting 2,500. A call was made and both players were allowed to see the turn.

The {k-Hearts} on fourth-street saw a repeat of action with the under the gun player check-calling a bet from Selbst, this time for 5,300. The dealer then placed on last card on the felt and it was the {4-Clubs}. The under the gun player stopped his streak of checks and bet out 12,000. Action was then on Selbst who seemed visible bemused by the bet. After two minutes or so of measuring out chips and eye balling the pot Selbst made the call.

The under the gun player flipped over {K-Spades}{10-Spades} for two pair, kings and queens. Selbst mucked her cards and forfeited the pot.
