Josh_Cahlik

Level 18 : 3,000/6,000, 500 ante

The board read when we came upon Cory Winchar and Liv Boeree heads up in a hand. Winchar moved forward 36,000 and Boeree thought for about thirty seconds before flinging out a call.

The final community card was the . After it hit the felt, Winchar announced an all in bet for 111,000. Boeree called the bet and was shown for a rivered set of nines by Winchar. Boeree heaved a huge sigh, slammed her hand on the table, and flipped up for a losing two pair. The PokerStars Team Pro was forced to ship the chips to the next seat over and is now down to just 100,000 in chips.

Winchar, on the other hand, is sitting pretty with around 345,000 in chips.

On the flop, the dealer produced the , and all three players checked to see the land on fourth street. After Selbst led for 19,000, Shahade thought, then made the call. Steen took some time to think as well, but he had other things in mind than just calling. Instead, Steen raised to 63,000. Selbst called, and Shahade folded.

The river completed the board with the , and Selbst checked. Steen tanked for a little bit, then began counting out blue T5,000 chips. It seemed as though he was going to bet, but then all of a sudden had a change of heart and knuckled the table for a check. Selbst showed the for a pair of aces, and Steen winced as though he knew he missed a spot to possibly fire a bluff. Steen mucked his hand, and Selbst was pushed the pot.

"You're really as good as they say you are, aren't you?" commented Kyle Sorel from across the table.

"I don't know, we don't know what I would've done if he would've bet the river," responded Selbst as she was stacking her chips with a smile.
