Selbst Eliminates Alaei; Chips Up To Over A Million

Daniel Alaei

Team PokerStars Pro Vanessa Selbst was the first woman to ever play the $100K Super High Roller since it first appeared on the PCA schedule three years ago. Everyone knows she's a beast, and she's proving it once again here in the Bahamas.

In a recent hand, action folded to Daniel Alaei in the cutoff and he raised to 25,000. Selbst responded with a three-bet to 48,000, Alaei moved all in for approximately 315,000, and Selbst snap-called.

Showdown
Selbst: {A-Clubs}{K-Spades}
Alaei: {Q-Hearts}{J-Clubs}

Selbst was ahead, but Alaei was drawing to live cards. The {9-Diamonds}{4-Clubs}{7-Clubs} flop wasn't particularly interesting, while the {8-Clubs} turn gave both a flush draw. That flush would come in for both when the {K-Clubs} completed the board on the river, but unfortunately for Alaei his jack was no good as Selbst had the ace-high flush.
