Hanks Leads After Taking a Huge Pot From Selbst

In a blind battle we just saw a huge shift in the momentum when Brent Hanks and Vanessa Selbst played a massive pot. The action started off with Selbst raising to 70,000 and Hanks defended his big blind.

The flop came down {8-Hearts}{6-Clubs}{2-Diamonds} and Selbst bet 70,000 once again, Hanks called. The turn was the {7-Diamonds} and Selbst fired out 110,000. Hanks took some time and called once more.

On the river the {8-Diamonds} hit and Selbst tanked for a bit before sliding out a big 520,000 chip bet. Hanks went into the tank and called after which Selbst quickly tabled {9-}{10-}. Hanks had {6-}{6-} for a full house and he beat Selbst's straight on the river. Brent Hanks now has a commanding chip lead over the other five players but it's still anyones game.
