Selbst Sent to a Day 1 Exit Courtesy of Bloch
Vanessa Selbst raised to 1,200 from middle position and got called by a player in late position before seeing Andy Bloch put in a three-bet to 4,400.
Both Selbst and the late position player called to see a 6♥4♦J♦ flop. Selbst checked as did the late position player before Bloch tossed out a bet of 7,000.
Action was back on Selbst and after about a minute, she stacked most of her chips up in a single tower and slid a 49,000 chip check-raise into the middle.
The late position player folded and Bloch entered the tank. A full three or more minutes had gone by when Selbst and Bloch started talking back and forth a bit.
"Do you have kings? No one has ever folded kings here before!" Selbst said to Bloch. "Do you have aces?" Bloch responded.
"Can I say what I have? Can I say what I don't have?" Bloch laughed.
Selbst seemed comfortable during the long tank, but eventually, Bloch stuck in the rest of his chips and Selbst, who had only left herself with around 2,000 behind, called off and did not seem happy about it.
Vanessa Selbst: A♦Q♦
Andy Bloch: Q♥Q♣
Selbst was behind but still had a lot of outs with two cards to come but when the turn and river came the J♠ and Q♠, Selbst's Day 1 exit was made official as the dealer turned her cards face down and pushed the pot in Bloch's direction.
