Breaking News: Vanessa Selbst Loses a Pot

Level 7 : 250/500, 50 ante
Vanessa Selbst
Vanessa Selbst

We were starting to think that Vanessa Selbst sold her soul so as to not lose any pots today, but she just proved us wrong by losing one.

The action was three-way to a {9-Spades}{8-Diamonds}{6-Clubs} flop. Michiel Brummelhuis was the preflop aggressor and checked from UTG. Selbst was in the next seat and led for 2,400. The third player folded but Brummelhuis check-raised to 6,500.

Selbst studied her opponent and then set him in for his 28,425 remaining. He snap called with {8-Hearts}{8-Spades} for middle set. Selbst winced before she even saw his holding and then tabled {6-Diamonds}{7-Diamonds} for a pair and straight draw. The {a-Spades}{k-Clubs} turn and river didn't change anything and the Dutchman scooped.
