Taylor Finishes Off Selbst

Level 8 : 400/800, 100 ante
Vanessa Selbst
Vanessa Selbst

Earlier in the day we posted a hand where Stacy Taylor got the best of Vanessa Selbst for a decently sized pot. Taylor was able to finish the deed here on Day 2 by taking out Selbst just before the break. We didn't catch the action but Taylor was kind enough to relay it to us.

A player opened from middle position with a raise to 1,200. Taylor called the raise before Selbst bumped it up to 4,100. Action folded around to Taylor who called.

The flop came down {7-}{9-}{3-} and Taylor check called a bet of 4,500 from Selbst. The turn was the {J-Spades} and Taylor said that she instantly moved all in. Selbst went into the tank.

"She was asking me a bunch of questions, like 'Why would you make it so much?' and other saying some other stuff like 'so sick, so sick.'" Taylor explained. Eventually Selbst made the call.

Taylor: {8-}{10-}
Selbst: {8-}{8-}

Taylor was in great shape with the nut straight but she still needed to avoid a ten for a chop, which she did when a {2-} fell on the river. That was good enough for Taylor to lock up the pot and the knock out, sending Selbst home from the tournament.
