Selbst Battles Badecker

Andrew Badecker started off the action with an under the gun raise to 65,000 and it got folded to Vanessa Selbst who was in the small blind. Selbst counted out a raise and threw 165,000 into the pot. The action was back on Badecker after Hanks gave up his big blind and he made it 310,000. The pressure was back on Selbst who wasn't scared, she moved all in and got Badecker to fold.

This final table has some real super stars and there is a lot more of this pre flop action to come in the next couple of levels!
