Selbst in a Tough Spot
Level 2
: Blinds 200/300, 300 ante
The action was picked up on a board of 3♣7♦5♣5♠A♠ with 12,000 in the pot. Vanessa Selbst checked from under the gun then went deep into the tank after Heon Lee in the cutoff bet 6,500.
Selbst struggled to make a decision but eventually chose to fold.
In the next hand, she defended from the big blind after Phongthep Thiptinnakon raised from middle position and was called by Eric O'Brien in the small blind.
Thiptinnakon continued for 1,700 on the A♣6♦6♠ flop, but only O'Brien called. Both players checked the 7♠ turn leading to the 3♥ river where O'Brien led out for 600. Thiptinnakon quickly folded.
