We got to the table with the dealer having already put out the river card and the board showing 
. Vanessa Selbst was up against one player who put out a bet of 1,050.
"How much?" Selbst asked and her opponent told her the amount.
Selbst shook her head, grabbed the chips to make the call, and tossed them into the middle while saying "I think you're overplaying your hand."
Her opponent nodded as he tabled 
for a pair of kings with a ten kicker. Selbst turned over the winner, 
, as her opponent told her "nice hand."
"Damage was small," smiled Selbst as she stacked her newly acquired chips.
