Selbst Makes Correct Call

Vanessa Selbst raised to 8,000 from early position and it folded around to the blinds who both opted to call.

The flop brought {10-Spades}{5-Clubs}{Q-Hearts} and all three players checked. The trio did the same on the {6-Spades} of fourth street, and the {2-Hearts} dropped down to finish the board.

The small blind bet 11,500 and was quickly called by the big blind. Selbst tanked for over a minute before flat calling as well. The small blind showed {A-Diamonds}{K-Spades} for ace-high and the blind blind flipped up {10-Clubs}{9-Diamonds} for a pair of tens.

Selbst, however, tabled the winning hand with {J-Diamonds}{10-Diamonds} for a pair of tens with a jack kicker. In raking that pot, Selbst's stack is now sitting at 535,000.
