Folded to Vanessa Selbst on the button, she made it two bets to go and only Chris Bjorin in the big blind would make the call. Selbst then drew three cards and Bjorin two cards.
Bjorin led here, then called the raise from Selbst. Both players drew one card and then checked, drawing one card again.
This time Bjorin would check then think hard before folding to a bet from Selbst.

Chambers: / /
We caught the action from fifth street, with Selbst check-calling a bet from Chambers. Both players then checked sixth street and Selbst led on seventh street. Chambers thought hard, before eventually making the call.
When Selbst tabled , her trips for the high pot and seventy-six for the low were good enough to send Chamber's cards into the muck, leaving him as the short stack.
