Selbst Takes Another One

We walked up to the table when a Russian player was all-in from the under the gun position for 9,000 chips and two other players were battling it out. Vanessa Selbst was in the big blind and had 18,000 out in front of her while Ryan Snickles had put in another raise to 38,500. It seemed like Snickles had opted to call the small all-in before Selbst threw out a raise from the big blind. He decided to play back at her, but she wasn't looking to give this one up. Selbst moved all-in for 128,500 and Snickles folded his cards.

Vanessa Selbst{A-Diamonds}{10-Hearts}
Ryan Snickles{A-Spades}{3-Spades}

The window card was the {10-Clubs} after which the {2-Spades} and {5-Spades} rolled off. "Those the worst two cards after such a window card", Selbst laughed because her opponent still had plenty of outs. The turn was the {2-Diamonds} and the river the {10-Diamonds} giving Selbst the win.
