Selbst is Either Bluffing or All In

We caught the action on {9-Hearts}{j-Diamonds}{7-Clubs}{9-Clubs}{6-Clubs} board with Brock Parker contemplating a bet from Vanessa Selbst that would cost him all of his remaining chips.

Eventually, he called and Selbst immediately tabled {q-Clubs}{10-Clubs} for a flush. Parker mucked his hand and Vanessa Rousso repeated something Selbst had apparently said earlier. "You're either bluffing or you're all in."

Selbst just smiled and said, "Well technically he was all in."

Check-Raise from Van Alstyne

From the button, Bryn Kenney raised to 1,500 after action folded to him. James Van Alstyne made the call from the small blind and the two went heads up to a flop.

The first three community cards were the {9-Diamonds}{8-Spades}{6-Hearts} and Van Alstyne checked to the preflop aggressor. Kenney fired 1,800 and Van Alstyne check-raised to 5,400. The check-raise was enough for Kenney to release his hand and Van Alstyne won the pot.

Second Pair Good for Waite

Clifford Waite was one of the players to win into this $20,000 rake-free Main Event by finishing at the final table of the Epic Poker League $1,500 Pro/Am event.
