Newey Wins a Weird One

Level 18 : 25,000/50,000, 5,000 ante

Vanessa Selbst opened to 100,000 from under the gun, Paul Newey just flat-called in the big blind, and the flop fell {3-Spades}{6-Spades}{j-Hearts}. Newey immediately moved all in for his remaining 180,000, and Selbst chuckled.

“I didn’t hit the flop, guys,” Selbst said jokingly after about 30 seconds. “The old-fashioned stop-and-go.”

She eventually mucked her hand, saying she had ace-high, and Newey picked up the pot.

Selbst Takes Another

Level 18 : 25,000/50,000, 5,000 ante

Antonio Esfandiari raised to 105,000 from under the gun plus one and found a call from Vanessa Selbst in the cutoff. The flop came down {4-Diamonds}{9-Spades}{K-Hearts} and Esfandiari fired out 120,000. Selbst called and the duo saw the {7-Diamonds} strike the turn.

Esfandiari checked on fourth and Selbst cut out a bet of 220,000.

"Queen-ten, huh, Vanessa?" sighed Esfandiari.

He kicked his cards into the muck and Selbst picked up the pot. The PokerStars Team Pro is now sitting on 4.625 million in chips.

Gregg's Turn to Double

Level 18 : 25,000/50,000, 5,000 ante
Tony Gregg
Tony Gregg

Dan Shak raised to 100,000 from the button, and Tony Gregg moved all in for 220,000 from the big blind. Shak called the additional 120,000.

Shak: {5-Spades}{2-Spades}
Gregg: {k-Clubs}{8-Diamonds}

The flop fell {q-Diamonds}{7-Diamonds}{6-Spades}, giving Shak a backdoor flush draw, and the {8-Hearts} on the turn gave Gregg a pair of eights. Shak added a few more outs to make a straight, but the {5-Clubs} on the river give him a meaningless pair of fives.

Gregg doubled to 510,000, while Shak is still above two million.

Selbst Straightens Out Shak

Level 18 : 25,000/50,000, 5,000 ante

Vanessa Selbst made it 100,000 from middle position and found a single call from Dan Shak in the hijack. The two saw a heart-filled flop of {K-Hearts}{Q-Hearts}{9-Hearts} hit the felt and they both checked to see the {A-Clubs} fall on the turn.

Selbst bet 160,000 and Shak called. The river brought a fourth heart to the community cards with the {8-Hearts} and Selbst dropped 125,000 forward. Shak instantly called but then mucked after seeing Selbst's {J-Clubs}{10-Diamonds} for a straight. Selbst dragged in the pot and now has 4.65 million to Shak's 1.76 million.
