A Raise on Every Street

Level 1

Limit Hold'em

Vanessa Selbst opened with a middle position raise only to have Eugene Katchalov make it three bets from two seats down. Action folded back to Selbst and she called to see a flop.

The two watched as the dealer spread {K-Clubs}{8-Hearts}{10-Hearts} on the felt. Selbst rapped the table and Katchalov fired out a continuation bet. Selbst came over the top with a check-raise and Katchalov called. The turn was the {2-Spades} and Selbst kept up the aggression by dropping out a bet. Katchalov raised and Selbst wiggled in her seat a bit. She thought for a moment before choosing to call.

The river was the {Q-Clubs} and Selbst checked over to Katchalov. He casually tossed one last bet in and Selbst came right over the top with a raise. Katchalov pursed his lips as if surprised by the bet. Eventually, however, he called.

"I got lucky," said Selbst, flipping over {A-Spades}{J-Clubs} for a rivered Broadway straight. Katchalov threw his hand into the muck and Selbst dragged in the pot.
