Selbst Doubles up Salsberg, Then Triples Her Short Stack

Level 4: 100-200, 25 ante

Selbstday1b2
We caught the action on a board of Jclub 9heart 7club Qclub and the two players in the hand are Vanessa Selbst and Matt Salsburg. Selbst has checked from under the gun and Salsburg has bet 5,000 from the hijack seat. Selbst checks how much Salsburg has behind before moving all-in, and Salsburg was like a whippet with his call. It was Qx Qx for Salsburg and Aclub Tx for Selbst. The river is the 6spade and the top set stands strong for Salsburg who doubles to 42,000.

That left Selbst with 1,775 chips and they went into the middle in the next hand.

There are four limpers before the small blind made a raise. Selbst moved all-in from the big blind and after Dan Smith tank-folded from the button, the small blind made the call. Selbst was holding Kspade 9spade and her opponent Aspade Qclub. The flop of Jspade 8spade 4spade handed Selbst her flush, and after fading a further spade on the 8heart Aclub, turn and river, she moves up to 5,500 chips.

Selbst With a Four Bet

Level 1: 50-100, ante

Vanessa Selbst raises to 300 in mid-position, Nicolas Cardyn calls one seat to his left before the player in the cutoff three-bets to 825. Back to Selbst who four-bets to 2,200, Cardyn folds but the player in the cutoff makes the call.

The flop is Kclub 7diamond 6diamond and Selbst bets 1,600, which is met by a tank-call by the player in the cutoff. The turn is the 9diamond - completing the flush - and Selbst bets 4,600 to win the pot.

Vanessa Selbst Eliminated by Mickael Layani

Level 4: 100-200, 25 ante

Selbst
Philipp Gruissem and Fabian Quoss have just joined the fun, with Gruissem taking the seat of the departed Vanessa Selbst. Tristan Wade informs us that Selbst raised to 450 and received three callers that included Mickael Layani. The flop was 5x 3x 3x (two diamonds), Selbst led for 1,300, Layani raised to 3,200, everyone else folded except Selbst who moved all-in for what looked like 18,000 and Layani called. Selbst showed Aclub 2club and Layani showed 3x 2x. A deuce on the turn sealing the fate of Selbst.

Layani ~ 65,000

First Pot For Selbst

Level 2: 75-150, ante

Vanessa Selbst takes her seat and is immediately facing a 400 raise from mid-position. The best female poker player in the world makes the call from the cutoff and the pair are left alone to see a flop. The dealer shows the table Jheart 4club 2diamond and the original raiser check-calls a 500 Selbst bet. Fourth street is the Tdiamond and this time Selbst wins the pot with a 2,000 bet once checked to.
