Selbst Slipping

Picking up with the action on a board of {5-Diamonds}{Q-Clubs}{8-Hearts}{K-Clubs}, we saw Vanessa Selbst bet 14,700. Her opponent quickly reached for calling chips and put them into the middle of the table.

The {8-Diamonds} paired the board on the river and Selbst stared deeply at the board. She tapped the table with her palm and her opponent quickly checked behind. Selbst showed {9-Spades}{7-Hearts} for nine-high and her opponent tabled {A-Spades}{k-Diamonds} for kings and eights.

As Selbst's opponent stacked his chips, she never lifted her gaze of disgust and disappointment from the felt. Selbst is now under 300,000 in chips for the first time today.
