Selbst Beats Baron

We caught up to see Vanessa Selbst and Isaac Baron heads up on a flop of {5-Clubs}{6-Spades}{10-Diamonds}. Selbst check-called a 30,000 bet from Baron and the two checked the turn that fell on the {Q-Hearts}.

The {3-Spades} dropped down on the river and Selbst checked for a third time. Baron fired 51,000 and Selbst quickly flung out a call.

"Ace-jack," said Baron.

Selbst tabled {10-Clubs}{9-Clubs} for a flopped pair of tens and dragged in the pot without saying a word. She's been chipping up nicely here on Day 5 and is currently sitting on about 1,840,000.
