Selbst Trending Upwards

There was about 40,000 in the pot when we walked up to a flop of {3-Spades} {3-Hearts} {7-Spades}. The small blind bet 15,500, and the next player raised to 45,500 total. Vanessa Selbst overcalled from the button, and the small blind ducked out of the way to let the other two go heads up the rest of the way.

The turn came the {A-Hearts}, and the raiser checked. Selbst thought and thought for a good long while before checking it back. That brought them to the {Q-Spades} river, and Selbst stuck out a very healthy bet of 120,000 chips. Her opponent shook his head and open-mucked {K-} {K-} with a, "So sick!"

Selbst is up to 405,000 courtesy of that no-showdown pot.
