Selbst and Seidel Clash

Level 1 : 25/50, 0 ante

Today marks Dominik Nitsche's 21st birthday and what a present he has been given from the Poker Gods, they have sandwiched him between Erik Seidel and Vanessa Selbst! So far he seems to have managed to stay away from the two poker Goliath's but Seidel and Selbst have clashed a couple of times during the first level.

On a board reading {Q-Spades}{Q-Diamonds}{4-Spades}{6-Clubs} Seidel bet 1,200 and Selbst, on the button, moved all in for an extra 1,850 more. Seidel paused and made the call before turning over {J-Spades}{J-Clubs} much to Selbst's dismay as she held the red version of Seidel's hand, {J-Hearts}{J-Diamonds}. The river was inconsequential and the players chopped the pot.

Shortly afterwards Selbst raised and Seidel was her only caller. The flop came down {K-}{10-}{J-}, Seidel checked, Selbst continued and then showed {A-}{Q-} for the nuts when Seidel folded.
