Selbst Rocks Palumbo; Argues with Oleksii Khoroshenin

Level 4

Oleksii Khoroshenin felt like he needed to make a point about the way Vanessa Selbst played her hand, effectively accusing her of angle shooting. Selbst defended herself and had the backing of the other players.

The words between the two occurred before the board was dealt; Selbst had her {j-Spades}{j-Diamonds} out in front of her and was in great shape against Rocco Palumbo's {a-Spades}{j-Hearts}. The latter had raised preflop and then four-bet jammed after Selbst had three-bet. The dealer was counting the raise and by the time she had informed Selbst of the amount, the time bank had dropped to five seconds. Selbst said she needed her 30 seconds from that point but the Ukrainian thought she was asking to use a team time bank chip, that wasn't issued before Selbst decided to call.

The board ran out {k-Clubs}{4-Diamonds}{3-Clubs}{2-Hearts}{2-Clubs} and Palumbo was eliminated.

Khoroshenin still said he thought it was unfair but he was like an island, alone with his point of view.
