Selbst needed any club but the 
to make a flush, or an eight or a king for a straight. The 
bricked on the river however, and Selbst was left with just 1,775 chips.
The very next hand, several players limped, including "King" Dan Smith. Selbst moved all in from the small blind, and the action folded to Smith who tank-folded as well. A player in the button made the call however, and the hands were opened.

The 
flop gave Selbst a flush, but any spade would give her opponent a higher flush. Neither the turn (
) or the river () were spades though, and Selbst more than doubled to about 5,500 chips.
