Selbst Eliminates Alaei; Chips Up To Over A Million
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.

turn gave both a flush draw. That flush would come in for both when the 
completed the board on the river, but unfortunately for Alaei his jack was no good as Selbst had the ace-high flush.
