Selbst Sinks a Little

Gaelle Baumann opened a recent hand demanding 2,600 for anyone who wanted to see a flop. Action folded over to Joey Weissman who had different plans, Weissman three-bet to about 5,100. Next to act was Vanessa Selbst who four-bet to 11,300. Baumann made the fold, and after a few moments Weissman moved all in. Selbst took a second or two before making the call and cards were tabled.

Selbst: {10-Hearts}{10-Spades}
Weissman: {A-Clubs}{Q-Hearts}

The flop came {A-Spades}{6-Hearts}{9-Clubs} sling-shotting Weissman into the lead. Selbst now needed running straight cards or a 10 to steal this hand back in her favor.

The {k-Hearts} on the turn was no good, and neither was the {8-Diamonds} on the river. Selbst was clearly a little upset, and made no attempt at hiding it. Selbst even went as far to ask Baumann how many outs of Weissman's did she have. Apparently she held {A-}{j-}, stressing Selbst only further. In the end though she sat down and went back to playing the game she is so great at.
