Selbst At-Risk and in Trouble

Level 28 : 40,000/80,000, 5,000 ante

Tyler Kenney opened to 200,000 from the button before Selbst three-bet shoved all in for 1.19 million. Kenney quickly called the shove, and he was well in front as the cards were turned on their backs.

Showdown
Kenney: {A-Hearts} {K-Diamonds}
Selbst: {A-Clubs} {5-Hearts}

Things were hushed in the studio as Selbst's cheering section (that includes a golden lab) shuffled their way to the front to lean in and sweat the flop. Their muted pleas for a five were answered quickly as the dealer ripped off a {Q-Clubs} {9-Spades} {5-Spades} flop to give her the come-from-behind lead with two to come. The turn {6-Spades} and river {3-Clubs} kept her fives in front, and Selbst's double was secure.

She's back to 2.47 million, just moving past Kenney and his 2.29 million.
