Oppenheim Goes Runner-Runner; Cripples Selbst

[user38449]

David Oppenheim just got a little help from the deck to pull well ahead of his heads-up opponent Vanessa Selbst.

On a board showing {7-?}

{7-?}

{4-?}

{9-?}

, David led out with a bet, Vanessa raised, David reraised all in and Vanessa made the call:

Selbst: {4-Diamonds}

{4-Diamonds}

{7-Diamonds}

Oppenheim: {A-?}

{A-?}

{A-?}

Vanessa's hand remained best through the turn, as the dealer burned and turned the {K-Hearts}

{K-Hearts}

, but another king on the river counterfitted her two pair, giving David the pot.

According to Tournament Emcee Jordan Siegel, "Selbst has a few chips left."
