Remy Biechel opened to 250 from the hijack seat, and he got plenty of action. Vanessa Selbst (cutoff), Marcello Marigliano (button), Anthony Ramsden (small blind), and Vitaly Lunkin (big blind) all came along to the flop.

It brought {Q-Hearts} {5-Diamonds} {K-Spades}, and the action checked around to Selbst. She fired a small bet of 350, and Ramsden called out of turn as the action was still on Marigliano. The Italian gentleman made it 1,150 total, and Ramsden called that much as well. That folded Lunkin and Biechel out of the way, but Selbst called to go three-handed to the turn.

It was the {7-Hearts}, and they checked to the raiser. Marigliano quickly bet 4,200, and Ramsden quickly called. It came back to Selbst now, and she took her pause to think it over. The brow furrowed and the gaze narrowed, and she stared back and forth between her opponents and the board for about three or four long minutes. Finally, she announced an all in for just about 17,000 total (17,475 to our eyes, though it was never counted down), and her two opponents folded without too much of a fuss.

"You're so good at this," Marigliano said, hinting at their earlier exchange, "so what'd I have?"

"God only knows," came Selbst's reply as she stacked the pot. From 30,000 to 17,000 and back again in just a few minutes, and the 2008 bracelet winner is back to her starting stack with a shrug.
