Ship the Jerky

An early-position player raised the pot pre-flop to 2,400 and was called only by Vanessa Selbst. On a flop of {a-Spades}{j-Diamonds}{5-Spades}, the pre-flop raiser continued for 3,100. Selbst made the call a second time.

That call seemed to slow down Selbst's opponent. He checked the turn, {3-Diamonds}, then called a bet of 8,300, taking the two players to the river. That's where the board paired with the {j-Hearts}. Again the pre-flop raiser checked, then instantly open-folded {k-}{k-} after Selbst bet. Selbst proudly opened {j-Spades}{j-Clubs} for four jacks. In addition to winning the pot, she also won a promotional bag of jerky products from Jack Link's Beef Jerky.

"I'm so excited about my beef jerky," said Selbst dryly. She's now sitting behind 280,000 in chips and a ticket for a bag of beef jerky products.
