Century for Selbst

Level 6 : 200/400, 50 ante
Vanessa Selbst
Vanessa Selbst

We found Vanessa Selbst checking a {4-Spades}{2-Clubs}{10-Spades} flop. Her opponent (who had rather inconsiderately obscured his ID card with a dinner ticket) bet 1,700 - but Selbst now check-raised him to 5,300. This prompted a dwell-up of simply epic proportions from the dinner ticket gent - it was well over five minutes, and we reckon that anything over three counts as epic on Day 1. Selbst spent the first couple of minutes staring at the flop with studied impassivity; after a while she apparently became bored and relaxed into gazing around the rather lovely belle epoque ballroom that is our tournament area. To her credit, she never once looked as though she was going to call the clock.

Eventually Mr. Dinner Ticket folded {a-Diamonds}{10-Hearts} face up. Selbst pursed her lips and ever so slightly raised an eyebrow. She is up to 100,000.
