Straight Flush Doubles Selbst

Level 3 : 100/200, 0 ante

We just got some second-hand information about a big hand that just went down on the feature table. We don't have access to the feature table, but we can tell you what we've been told.

Vanessa Selbst just doubled through Chris McClung with a straight flush. When the money went in, McClung held a full house and we can only imagine how much of a cooler it was. McClung isn't out, but he is pretty short.

Also on the feature are former tennis superstar Boris Becker, former UFC fighter Heath Herring and another Team PokerStars Pro Gualter Salles.

The Last Longer

Level 3 : 100/200, 0 ante
Isildur1 crushes blackjack too.
Isildur1 crushes blackjack too.

You're probably aware that PokerStars Team Pro Viktor "Isildur1" Blom won the Super High Roller last night, banking over $1.25 million. He's also a sicko (you probably know that too), and he just booked a last longer with Harry "UgotaBanana" Kaczka.

"How much?" Blom asked Kaczka.

"Any amount that will motivate you," Kaczka responded.

The two agreed on $10,000 because that's the buy in, but they continued the negotiations away from the table, and the wager could easily be higher. Blom also added that he won $4,000 playing blackjack last night.

It's nice to be king.

Top, Top for Lex

Eddy Sabat checked the {A-Hearts}{10-Clubs}{4-Spades}{Q-Diamonds} flop to Team PokerStars Pro Lex Veldhuis. Veldhuis fired 1,200 and Sabat made the call.

The river completed the board with the {9-Hearts} and Sabat checked again. Veldhuis fired 2,300 and Sabat called after a minute. Veldhuis showed the {A-Diamonds}{K-Hearts} for top pair, top kicker and Sabat mucked.

Mattern Flying High with Rockets

Arnaud Mattern is up to nearly 100,000 after picking up a nice pot with two aces, eventually making a full house.

There was a raise, a reraise from Nam Le on the button and then a cold four-bet to 3,900 from the small blind before action fell on Mattern in the big blind. He five-bet to 7,250. Action folded back around to the small blind and he called, leaving himself with right around 16,000 to work with heading into the flop out of position against the French Team PokerStars Pro.

The flop came down {A-Hearts}{8-Spades}{5-Diamonds} and both players checked to see the {9-Clubs} land on the turn. The small blind checked and Mattern bet extra small with a wager of 2,600. His opponent made the call.

The river completed the board, and paired it, with the {9-Spades}. The small blind checked and Mattern bet 2,950. His opponent called and watched Mattern roll over the {A-Clubs}{A-Diamonds} for aces full of nines. The small blind mucked and Mattern raked in the pot.

Jarvis Takes One Out

Picking up the action on an {A-Spades}{6-Diamonds}{4-Hearts} flop, Matt Jarvis and David Bach checked to the third player in the hand who bet 2,800.

Only Jarvis called to see the {8-Diamonds} turn and he fired 5,100. His opponent called, landing the {K-Diamonds} on the river. Jarvis took a few moments before betting enough to cover his opponent's stack, who quickly called all in for about 20,000.

Jarvis tabled {4-Diamonds}{4-Clubs}, beating his opponent's {A-Clubs}{K-Hearts} to score the knockout.
