Selbst Out Rivered

A middle position player raised it up to 1,200 and got a call from the cutoff and Vanessa Selbst in the small blind.

The flop came down {a-Diamonds}{6-Clubs}{5-Spades} and all three players checked. The turn came {Q-Spades} and Selbst bet out 1,500. The player in middle position re-raised it up to 6,000, the cutoff folded and Selbst went into the tank. Eventually she made the call and saw the river {8-Hearts}

Both players checked and the middle position player showed {8-}{8-}{q-}{4-} for a rivered set and Selbst showed {a-Spades}{2-Spades} for top pair and the missed nut flush draw.

Selbst lost that small one but is still very healthy with 40,000 chips.
