A Temporary Loan

Vanessa Selbst raised to 29,000 in the cutoff, Thom Schultz called from the small blind, and Jamie Pickering also called from the big blind. The flop came {2-Diamonds}

. Pickering grabbed some orange 5,000 chips, riffled them a bit, then checked. Selbst fired 75,000 into the middle.

Schultz thought a bit and folded, as did Pickering. Selbst showed her Q-Q-x-x to the table, and dragged the pot.

We'll get an exact count for you at the next break, but it appears she has something close to two-thirds of the 2.27 million chips in play.
