The Unfortunate Demise of Team PokerStars Pro Vanessa Selbst

Team PokerStars is down a member after Vanessa Selbst has been felted. It was the result of two notable hands.

In the first, Felix Stephensen raised to 8,000 under the gun and Selbst three-bet to 23,000 from the cutoff. Action folded back to Stephensen, and he paused for 45 seconds or so before four-betting to 51,000. Selbst took an equal amount of time before making the call, and the two watched the flop come down .

Stephensen thought for over a minute before betting 27,000, Selbst thought for the same length before raising to 66,000, and a third minute passed before Stephensen called. Both players then checked the turn as well as the river. Stephensen tabled the for the nuts, and Selbst just shook her head before sending her cards to the muck.

Not long after, Selbst and Juan Martin Pastor played a hefty pot. We picked up the action with 130,000 already in the pot and a board reading . We're not sure how the action unfolded before that point, but we do know Pastor checked from the small blind and Selbst bet 30,000, leaving herself 48,000 back. Pastor then woke up with a check-raise to 80,000, and Selbst hit the tank.

"Sorry, I need a second on this one guys," Selbst said. A half minute later she tossed in some chips to signify a call, which prompted Pastor to show just two pair with the on the four-flushed board. Still, Selbst looked disgusted. She got out of her chair and showed the for an inferior two pair. Pastor's hand was good and that's all she wrote for Selbst, who fell a table short of the money.
