Preflop Pressure

With blinds of 6,000/12,000, opening preflop raises can range between 24,000 and 42,000.

Those preflop raises have often been getting it done for Vanessa Selbst, as she continues to pressure her three opponents, all of whom are hovering around 300,000. (Selbst has about 1.45 million.) When she limped in from the button a while ago, Thom Schultz (in the big blind) said, "Scary!"

All likely have in mind the different payouts for fourth, third, and second. The next player to go out gets $72,004. See "Prizepool and Payouts" for the full payout schedule.
