Selbst Takes One Down

Level 5 : 100/200, 25 ante
Vanessa Selbst
Vanessa Selbst

On one of the first hands back from break Vanessa Selbst opened to 500 from middle position and was called by the player on the button.

On the {Q-Hearts}{5-Spades}{6-Spades} flop Selbst continued with a bet of 600. The player on the button called.

The turn was the {5-Clubs} and Selbst bet again, this time 1,000. She was called by the button player again.

The {9-Clubs} hit the river and Selbst bet for a third time. She fired out 2,700. The player on the button didn't take too long to think before tossing his cards in the muck.

Selbst moved back over starting stack after that hand.

A Call Will Do

Level 5 : 100/200, 25 ante
Jeff Madsen
Jeff Madsen

From under the gun + 1 Andre Akkari raised to 525. Action folded around to Jeff Madsen who attempted to raise to 450, but didn't see Akkari's raise. He settled on just a call instead. Everyone else folded.

On the {2-Clubs}{6-Spades}{4-Clubs} board, Akkari continued with a bet of 700 that Madsen called.

The turn was the {2-Diamonds} and Akkari checked to Madsen who bet 1,100. Akkari thought about it for a while, but landed on a fold, awarding the pot to Madsen.

"It all worked out for you," Matt Waxman said to Madsen after the hand.

Negreanu Gets a Double

Level 5 : 100/200, 25 ante

We did not get to see the action but we saw Daniel Negreanu and his short stack getting counted as it was about to double as he had {q-Hearts}{q-Diamonds} which must have been good because his opponent sent over 6,000 more and Negreanu doubled to 12,000.

"It's Time To Eat My Donut"

Level 5 : 100/200, 25 ante
Cherish Andrews
Cherish Andrews

After a raise and two calls, Cherish Andrews moved all in for 3,950 more. The original raiser called which sent the first caller into the tank.

"It's time to eat my donut," the second caller said as he shoved a white powered donut into his mouth then proceeded to slam the table to clean off some powder.

Eventually the first caller folded what he claimed to be {K-}{Q-}, and the second donut eating caller showed {A-Spades}{10-Spades} face up and folded. "I never lose with that hand," he explained to Andrews. Andrews and the original raiser both turned up their hands as they were off to showdown.

Andrews: {9-Hearts}{9-Clubs}
Raiser: {A-Hearts}{Q-Hearts}

The board ran out {4-Hearts}{J-Spades}{5-Spades}{J-Diamonds}{J-Hearts} which granted Andrews a double up.

"How are you doing?" the donut eating man asked Andrews after the hand.

"I'm good. How are you?" Andrews responded cheerfully as she collected her newly found chips.
