Fightin' Chips
Vanessa Selbst managed a near-quadruple-up just after the break when she got her 400 lonely chips into the pot with ace-seven. She spiked an ace to win that pot and put her back to 1,500, and she's just found double up number two.
From the button, Selbst shipped 1,950 chips in with , and Anthony Ramsden re-shoved with , isolating himself against the lady with a chance at the knockout.
The board was a sweat, but ultimately in Selbst's favor as it ran . That's another double, and she's fought her way back to 4,100.
On the next hand, Mickey Petersen opened to 600 from early position before Selbst moved her new, twice-as-big stack into the middle again. Petersen gave her a look but eventually passed, and that puts Selbst right back at 5,000 even. It's not a heap, but it's enough to keep her in the game and start the chatter of a comeback from just 400 chips.
