Duhamel Doubles Through Selbst in PLO Clash

Level 3
Vanessa Selbst Loses Massive Pot
Vanessa Selbst Loses Massive Pot

Pot-Limit Omaha

We arrived at the table in time to see Vanessa Selbst and Jonathan Duhamel looking down at a flop of {6-Spades}{5-Hearts}{3-Spades}. Selbst was in the small blind and fired out 2,000. Duhamel cut out a raise to what looked to be 10,600 after Selbst's original bet was pulled in .

The two headed to the turn and saw the {7-Hearts} hit the felt. Selbst checked and Duhamel fired 14,500. Selbst thought for about 45 seconds before moving out a raise to 68,700. Duhamel did not waste much time before quietly announcing that he was all in.

"Shit," sighed Selbst. Almost immediately after the word left her mouth she moved out a call.

Duhamel: {8-Diamonds}{7-Spades}{4-Hearts}{5-Diamonds}
Selbst: {A-Spades}{A-Clubs}{6-Diamonds}{4-Spades}

Both players had a straight but Duhamel's was higher with a straight to the eight. The river paired the board with the {7-Diamonds} and Duhamel ended the hand with a winning sevens full of fives. Selbst was forced to ship a vast majority of her stack over to Duhamel and now sits on just 44,000 in chips. Duhamel, however, has soared to one of the top stacks in the room with about 290,000 in chips.

Selbst took to Twitter immediately after the hand:
