Selbst Wasn't Bluffing This Time

Level 12 : 600/1,200, 200 ante

Vanessa Selbst check-called a bet of 3,000 from Micah Raskin on the {7-Diamonds}{2-Hearts}{2-Spades} flop before seeing the {Q-Clubs} land on the turn. Selbst checked, Raskin bet 4,000, and Selbst check-raised to 11,100. Raskin called.

The river was the {9-Diamonds}, and Selbst opted to lead for 15,400. Raskin tanked for a bit, then called. Selbst showed the {K-Hearts}{Q-Hearts} for two pair, queens and deuces, and Raskin mucked.

"Are you ever bluffing there?" asked Raskin of Selbst after the hand.

"I was in a very similar spot yesterday and was bluffing," Selbst said with a smile. "Jason can attest to that," she added, as Jason Mercier was seated to her direct left.
