Mickey Doft

Vanessa Selbst

An early-position player raised to 1,600 and a middle-position player made it 3,500. Vanessa Selbst popped it to 9,400 in the hijack and was only called by the player in middle position.

The flop came down {3-Hearts}

{3-Hearts}

{K-Diamonds}

{10-Diamonds}

and it was checked to Selbst. She shoved for 17,450 and was insta-called by her opponent. Selbst needed help with {Q-Spades}

{Q-Spades}

{J-Diamonds}

against her opponent's {A-Clubs}

{A-Clubs}

{K-Clubs}

. The

{10-Hearts}

turn card was a blank for Selbst, but the {9-Clubs}

{9-Clubs}

river card gave her a straight to win the pot.

She is up to about 58,000.
