Selbst Applying Pressure

Level 2 : 50/100, 0 ante

On a flop of {4-Clubs}{10-Hearts}{2-Spades} Vanessa Selbst checked to her opponent who fired out a bet of 900. Selbst called and the two saw a turn of {7-Spades}. Both players checked the turn and the river came {A-Hearts}.

Selbst checked once again and her opponent quickly shot out a bet of 1,800. Selbst went into the tank for a while before finally announcing that she was all in. Her opponent let out an annoyed sigh and tossed his hand into the muck. Selbst scooped the pot, bringing to her about 15,000 in chips.
