Selbst Loses Some

We picked up on the action with the board reading {5-Clubs}{2-Clubs}{2-Spades}. Barry Shulman checked from the small blind and Vanessa Selbst checked from the big blind. The player on the button led out for 1,225 and Shulman opted to get out of the way. Selbst made the call and the turn came {J-Diamonds}. Both players checked and saw the {A-Hearts} strike the river.

Selbst decided to lead out this time, pushing out a bet of 1,400. Her opponent made it 4,050 rather quickly and Selbst then went into the tank. After about a minute and a half, she dropped in a call and her opponent flipped over two jacks, one by one. First the {J-Clubs} then the {J-Spades}.

"Ouch!" remarked Barry Shulman as Selbst shook her head and dropped her cards into the muck.
