Vanessa Selbst Goes Racing

Level 6 : 150/300, 25 ante
Vanessa Selbst Has Doubled Her Starting Stack Here on Day 1
Vanessa Selbst Has Doubled Her Starting Stack Here on Day 1

Vanessa Selbst has raised before the flop, and her opponent pushed back with an all-in wager for roughly 8,000.

Selbst quickly called and rolled over {3-Hearts}{3-Spades}, but by the look on her face it appeared she feared the worst. Her opponent tabled the {K-Diamonds}{Q-Spades}, however, and Selbst was racing to add a decent chunk to her stack.

"I got this," said the all-in player, even as the flop came {2-Clubs}{a-Diamonds}{9-Spades}. "I still got this..."

The turn brought the {9-Hearts}, and the player's voice rose a bit, as he pondered the board pair possibilities that might have given him the win, saying "I got this now..."

River: {5-Diamonds}

Selbst had it instead, and by winning this early race, she has more than doubled her stack midway through the first day of play.
