Big Pot From Table #1

The action started on a flop of {K-Spades} {8-Clubs} {6-Clubs}. The two players involved were Vanessa Selbst and Shankar Pillai who were sitting pretty deep. A series of bets and raises later and all the chips were in the middle.

Selbst tabled {6-Diamonds} {8-Spades} {7-Diamonds} {10-Hearts} and was up against Pillai's {A-Clubs} {J-Clubs} {8-Spades} {3-Diamonds}.

Pillai would need to hit a club as the turn brought a {9-Spades} and river a {J-Diamonds}. No luck for Pillai and after a count it emerged he was covered by Selbst and eliminated.

Selbst up to 57,500 now.
